Geert Wilders said he was ready to forego the job of Dutch prime minister to break months of deadlock in trying to form a Government.
It comes nearly four months after an election in which his Freedom Party won the most votes in the Dutch general election.
Wilders has been in talks with potential right wing allies since the November 22 election but they have been unsuccessful.
A negotiator appointed to assist in the process is due to report to parliament on his findings on Thursday.

Wilders wrote on social media: "I can only become the prime minister if ALL the parties in the coalition supported it. That was not the case... I really want a right ( wing ) cabinet. Less asylum and immigration... Love for my country and the voters is big and more important than my own position."
Local media had earlier reported that Wilders was prepared to give up his hopes of becoming prime minister as he has struggled to form a viable government.
Citing political sources in The Hague, local media said Wilders' Freedom Party and three other conservative parties attempting to form a right-wing coalition were weighing a scenario in which the party leaders would remain in parliament but not join the new government in order to break the deadlock.
This scenario, known as an "extra-parliamentary" cabinet, politicians and experts not considered closely allied to any of the parties would be appointed to top government posts and work closely with parliament.
