Jan Iedema starts as a scout
The VVD in Wassenaar has asked Alderman Iedema of Zoetermeer to serve as an exploratory negotiator for the formation of a new coalition. With this move, the party aims Map carefully Map the possibilities for stable cooperation during the upcoming term of office.
In the coming period, Iedema will engage in discussions with all parties on the Wassenaar City Council. The purpose of these discussions is to conduct an initial assessment of how each party views its own role and to gauge their willingness to participate in a stable municipal government with a positive agenda.
VVD party leader Laurens van Doeveren emphasizes the importance of a careful process: “The goal is to engage in dialogue with all parties. We will discuss their substantive priorities, how they wish to collaborate, and whether they see a role for themselves in a new municipal executive. The Wassenaar VVD has deliberately opted for a broad exploratory process, because forming a stable and sustainable partnership for the next four years is the top priority. Jan Iedema is a skilled facilitator and brings extensive administrative experience from his eight years as an alderman in Zoetermeer. Let’s get to work!”
Once the exploratory study is complete, its findings will be shared with the city council, after which the next steps in forming the executive committee will be determined.
