The Christian Democrats won the election in Alphen. Diederik Samsom speaks of a beautiful evening.

Wikipedia.org SP leader Emiel Roemer explains the gain of the Labour Party partly because the SP did not partake in the elections in Friesland, so they didn't have competition. The SP leader is pleased with the gain of the SP in Alphen aan de Rijn, and points out the VVD took a hit. The CDA won convincingly in Alphen aan de Rijn. CDA leader Buma speaks of a very important moment for the CDA . All four municipalities where elections were held gave off a strong CDA sound, which is important for those towns and for the CDA, states Buma.
