| dbo:abstract | The 2002 Labour Party leadership election was called to elect the new Leader of the Labour Party after incumbent Ad Melkert announced his retirement from national politics. Wouter Bos the former Undersecretary for Finance beat the former Speaker of the House of Representatives Jeltje van Nieuwenhoven, former Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations Klaas de Vries and public administration professor Jouke de Vries. Between 6 and 12 November 2002 the 60,000 members of the Dutch social-democratic Labour Party (PvdA) could vote for their preferred candidate for top candidate for the 2003 general election. These elections were part of the reforms implemented by party chairperson , after the 2002 elections. In addition to the top candidate for the elections to the House of Representatives, the top candidate for the Senate and leaders of the provincial councils were elected. All PvdA members could vote by mail or telephone. The candidates for the election were Wouter Bos, former State Secretary for finance, the former President of the House of Representatives, Jeltsje van Nieuwenhoven, the former Minister of Home Affairs, Klaas de Vries and the Professor of public administration Jouke de Vries. The first three were member of the House of Representatives, while Jouke de Vries was an outsider candidate. Wouter Bos was the first to announce his candidacy, just after the fall of the Second Balkenende cabinet. On 29 September 2002 Klaas de Vries announced his candidacy, claiming that the elections would be a sham if only Wouter Bos was a serious candidate. On 22 October, interim party-leader Jeltsje van Nieuwenhoven finally announced her candidacy. The elections were won by a landslide by Wouter Bos. He won with 60% of the votes and a margin of 30%. 54% of the PvdA members voted. Following the elections the PvdA made miraculous resurgence in the 2003 general elections, nearly doubling its seats and votes, this is partially credited to the charisma of Wouter Bos and the reform of the party under Ruud Koole (en) Tussen 6 en 12 november 2002 hield de Partij van de Arbeid een intern referendum over het lijsttrekkerschap van de partij bij de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van 2003. De aanleiding van het referendum was het aftreden van Ad Melkert als leider van de PvdA na de voor de partij dramatisch verlopen Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van 2002. De PvdA-fractie had ad interim Jeltje van Nieuwenhoven benoemd als fractieleider. Een nieuwe partijleider moest echter, volgens de hervormingen van partijvoorzitter Ruud Koole, door alle leden van de partij worden gekozen, niet slechts door de fractie of het partijcongres. 60.000 Leden waren gerichtigd om te kiezen uit vier kandidaten. Gelijktijdig werd ook de lijsttrekker voor de Eerste Kamerverkiezingen van 2003 en de lijsttrekkers in de verkiezingen van de Provinciale Staten gekozen. Leden konden stemmen per mail en telefoon. De vier kandidaten waren: * Wouter Bos, voormalig staatssecretaris van Financiën, die daarvoor werkte bij de Shell. * Jeltje van Nieuwenhoven, voormalig Tweede Kamervoorzitter, die daarvoor jarenlang parlementariër was. * Klaas de Vries, voormalig Minister van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties en Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid. Daarvoor was De Vries onder andere voorzitter van de Sociaal-Economische Raad. * Professor Jouke de Vries, professor bestuurskunde aan de Universiteit Leiden. De eerste drie kandidaten waren op dat moment lid van de Tweede Kamer, Jouke de Vries echter niet. Bos kondigde als eerste zijn kandidatuur aan, net na het aftreden van het Kabinet-Balkenende I. Op 29 september kondigde Klaas de Vries zijn kandidatuur aan omdat volgens hem een referendum met maar één kandidaat een lege huls zou zijn. Op 22 oktober kondigde ad interim leider Van Nieuwenhoven haar kandidatuur aan. Wouter Bos won de verkiezingen met een ruime marge: hij haalde 60 procent van de stemmen, terwijl Van Nieuwenhoven maar 30 procent haalde. 54 procent van de partijleden stemde. Bij de verkiezingen van 2003 verdubbelde de PvdA onder Wouter Bos haar aantal zetels bijna: van 23 zetels naar 42. (nl) |
