Resignations generally do not affect the balance of power, as replacements are appointed from the party list. However, during the term three new parliamentary groups were created, all split off Forum for Democracy. In July–August 2019, Henk Otten, Jeroen de Vries and Dorien Rookmaker left to form the Fractie-Otten. In February 2020, Rookmaker left and was replaced by Otto Hermans who joined the Forum for Democracy group again. In November–December 2020, another 8 members left Forum for Democracy, to form the Fractie-Van Pareren, which was later renamed Fractie-Nanninga. When Nicki Pouw-Verweij (member of the Fractie-Nanninga) left the Senate, she was replaced by Theo Hiddema who joined the Forum for Democracy group. Finally, in March 2022, Paul Frentrop and Theo Hiddema left Forum for Democracy to form the Fractie-Frentrop. This left Forum for Democracy at the end of the term with only one seat.
