Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen submitted her government’s resignation to the king after her three-party coalition suffered a large defeat in a general election, the royal palace said in a statement
Parties are set to launch potentially tough and long negotiations to determine whether the next government will be formed by Ms Frederiksen or another party leader.
In power since 2019, Ms Frederiksen had campaigned on a promise that her tough and tested leadership skills would help the Nordic nation navigate a complex relationship with US President Donald Trump and the European response to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
However, she emerged bruised both from the left and the right at home, where the cost-of-living crisis has come to the front of voter concerns, observers said.
Many of her left-wing supporters appeared frustrated with an immigration policy they saw as too tough, while some on the right saw her too soft and untrustworthy on economic issues.
