Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democrats party won the most votes in the general election but suffered its weakest performance since 1903, failing to secure a majority. The party garnered 21.9% of the vote and 84 seats in the 179-seat parliament, short of the 90 needed for a majority.

Frederiksen expressed her willingness to continue as Prime Minister, while Rasmussen indicated a preference for forming a government across the center.
