On January 16, 2024, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announced his resignation at the European Parliament headquarters in Strasbourg, France. In Belgium's triple election for the European Parliament, national, and local governments on June 9, it was revealed that far-right parties made significant gains, causing De Croo's seven-party coalition to lose its majority. De Croo's party suffered a notable decline, leading to his resignation. The right-wing New Flemish Alliance maintained its position as the largest party in the Dutch-speaking region, while the Reformist Movement in the French-speaking region triumphed over the Socialist Party. The formation of a new government in Belgium is expected to be a prolonged process, as previous government formations have taken record amounts of time. De Croo's Open Flemish Liberal Democrats saw a drastic drop in support, prompting his resignation and leaving Bart De Wever, leader of the New Flemish Alliance, as a likely candidate for the new prime minister.
