The divided country on Saturday broke the 208-day mark set by the Netherlands in 1977 for being without a government. The Christian Democratic Appeal was formed by the Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP), Christian Historical Union (CHU) and the Catholic People's Party (KVP) in 1976. The first joint party leader was a member of the KVP, Dries van Agt. Eventually a coalition was formed during the 1977 Dutch cabinet formation between the Christian Democratic Appeal and the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy with Van Agt as Prime Minister.
