President of the Senate

Between 7 June 2011 and 8 June 2015, 85 individuals served as representatives in the Senate, the 75-seat upper house of the States-General of the Netherlands. 75 representatives were elected in the 23 May 2011 Senate election and installed at the start of the term; 10 representatives were appointed as replacements when elected representatives resigned or went on leave.

During this period, the first and second Rutte cabinets reigned. The former coalition consisted of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD, 16 seats) and Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA, 11 seats), with confidence and supply from the Party for Freedom (PVV, 9 seats). The opposition was composed of the Labour Party (PvdA, 14 seats), Socialist Party (SP, 8 seats), Democrats 66 (D66, 5 seats), GroenLinks (GL, 5 seats), Christian Union (CU, 2 seats), Reformed Political Party (SGP, 1 seat), 50PLUS (50+, 1 seat), Party for the Animals (PvdD, 1 seat), and Independent Senate Group (OSF, 1 seat).

Members

[edit]

All members are sworn in at the start of the term, even if they are not new. Assumed office in this list therefore refers to the swearing in during this term (or return date of members who left), while all members are automatically considered to have left office at the end of the term.
