With 30% of the votes counted, MEP is emerging as the top contender, and by 22:30 local time, the party had already secured 40% of the votes.
A Strong Lead for the MEP Party
Aruba’s Prime Minister Evelyn Wever-Croes, representing the MEP party, appears well on her way to securing another term in office. Early election results from Friday evening indicate a solid lead, with polls officially closing at 19:00 local time.

What Makes This Election Stand Out?
The parliamentary elections hold immense significance for Aruba’s future, with voters focusing on economic recovery, tourism growth, and sustainable development.
