After the 2010 general election, in which the Christian Democrats lost 20 seats, he lost his position as a member of the House of Representatives. He regained it in the following months, after parliamentarians resigned to join the First Rutte cabinet. In 2012, he left the House of Representatives. Since 2014, Van Bochove has been Acting Mayor of Weesp. References
