Denmark's Prime Minister Frederiksen has resigned following a devastating defeat of his three-party government in parliamentary elections. Although the Social Democrats remain the largest party, their support has declined significantly, failing to secure a majority of seats. A new government formation process has been initiated, with cross-party negotiations to take place. Frederiksen still has the possibility of serving as Prime Minister again.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has resigned to the King of Denmark, and the process of forming a new government has begun. Previously, the three-party coalition government led by Frederiksen suffered a heavy defeat in the election.

Denmark recently held parliamentary elections, and the official results showed that Frederiksen’s Social Democrats remained the largest party, but their support has plummeted. The center-left coalition led by the Social Democrats failed to win a majority of seats.

According to regulations, if no party wins a majority, parties will engage in cross-party negotiations to form a new government.

Since the Social Democrats are still Denmark’s largest party with a support rate of 21.9%, it means Frederiksen may become Prime Minister for the third time after coalition negotiations.
