Jan Peter Balkenende was prime minister from 2002 till 2010. He stepped back after his party (the christian-democratic CDA) lost the elections in June 2010.
Two days ago his party lost again severely at the provincial elections. The current leadership optimistically stated that the loss wasn't more severe than the previous one, though.
Mr. Balkenende is now a university professor and a partner at Ernst & Young. His party honors him with a painted portrait, in a hallway of its headquarters. Next to the emergency exit.
