Denmark's Mette Frederiksen to form government after months of negotiations
Months since Denmark's general election, acting prime minister Mette Frederiksen, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, will form a centre-left coalition minority government.
Twelve parties won seats in March's inconclusive election. The Social Democrats won the most votes but saw their weakest performance since 1903.
...
With 21.9% of the vote, Frederiksen's party won just 38 seats in the March election – losing 12 and falling well short of the 90 needed to form a majority.
The coalition will consist of Frederiksen's Social Democrats, the Socialist People's Party, the centre-left Radikale Venstre and the centrist Moderates, according to a statement from the palace.
