Khadija Arib

Khadija Arib (Arabic: خديجة عريب‎, born 10 October 1960 in Hedami,Morocco) is a Moroccan-Dutch politician and the current Speaker of the Dutch House of Representatives. She came to the Netherlands when she was 15 years old. She is a member of the Dutch Labour Party (Partij van de Arbeid, PvdA) and has been a Member of Parliament from 19 May 1998 to 29 November 2006 and since 1 March 2007. Before her political career, she was a civil servant, educator and social worker.

As a Member of Parliament, she focussed on matters of racism, discrimination control, women's abuse, domestic violence and youth care. While in the House of Representatives, she has been fiercely criticised (mainly by members of the far-right Party for Freedom) for her dual citizenship and for her part in an advisory committee to the King of Morocco. In 2012, she made an unsuccessful attempt to become Speaker and became First Deputy Speaker instead. She was elected Speaker in an interim election on 13 January 2016, defeating three other candidates.
