AMSTERDAM, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Seven members of the Netherlands’ far-right Freedom Party led by politician Geert Wilders have split from the party’s 26-member faction in parliament and will form their own group, citing dissatisfaction with his leadership, ANP reported on Tuesday, citing Wilders and the lawmakers.

The split is the most serious challenge to Wilders’ control over his party since its foundation in 2006.
