Biography
Hugo Mattheüs de Jonge (born 26 September 1977) is a Dutch politician who has served as King's Commissioner of Zeeland since 1 July 2025, after an acting period from 16 September 2024. A member of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), he was elected to its leadership in 2020 for the 2021 general election. He withdrew later that year, citing the impossibility of combining his position as Health Minister in charge of the COVID-19 pandemic efforts with his party leadership. He later served in the fourth Rutte cabinet as Minister for Housing and Spatial Planning from 2022 until 2024 and Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations from 2023 until 2024.
