MFK garnered 55.2% of the vote, translating to 41,683 ballots cast in their favor. The National People's Party (PNP) maintained its four seats with 16.3% of the vote, while the Real Alternative Party (PAR) saw its representation halved to two seats. The MAN-PIN alliance also secured two seats . Voter turnout stood at approximately 68.8%, a slight decrease from the 74% turnout in 2021.
MFK's campaign focused on economic revitalization, emphasizing job creation, affordable living, and strengthening Curaçao's autonomy within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The party's populist approach, including direct engagement with citizens and a strong social media presence, resonated particularly with younger voters, among whom MFK received overwhelming support.
The party's success also reflects its emphasis on law and order, with Pisas, a former police officer, advocating for a tough stance on crime. Additionally, MFK's proposals included plans for social housing, improved healthcare access, and potential tax reductions to stimulate the economy.
With an absolute majority, MFK is positioned to govern without coalition partners, a significant shift from the previous term when it partnered with the PNP. This consolidation of power presents both opportunities for decisive governance and concerns about checks and balances in Curaçao's political landscape.
As MFK embarks on its new term, the government faces challenges including addressing unemployment, managing the cost of living, and improving infrastructure and education systems. The party's ability to deliver on its promises will be closely watched by both supporters and critics in the coming years.
