Alexander De Croo resigned after his Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats party slumped in Belgium elections.
Belgium has kicked off its quest for a new governing coalition after elections pushed centre-right parties into prime positions across the country, in a rare alignment.
Sunday’s regional and national vote saw the conservative New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) maintain its decade of control in Dutch-speaking Flanders, beating far-right Vlaams Belang, in second place.
Meanwhile in French-speaking Wallonia, the centre-right Reformist Movement smashed through the long-standing supremacy of the Socialist Party. They also claimed first place in Brussels.
On Monday, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo – who had seen his Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats party haemorrhage support – handed in his resignation to King Philippe as per protocol.
“This is an extremely hard evening for us. We have lost this election,” De Croo said, adding he would take full responsibility for the loss.
