Initial results: Center-left bloc set to win Danish election
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A full preliminary vote count shows a center-left bloc is set to win Denmark’s election with a one-seat majority in Parliament.
The result puts Prime Minister Mette Fredriksen in a strong position to stay in power. The result is preliminary and based on the assumption that a vote count in Greenland expected early Wednesday will give the autonomous territory’s two seats to the center-left bloc.
Frederiksen was forced to call the election earlier this month amid the fallout from her government’s contentious decision to cull millions of minks as a pandemic response measure. The cull and chilling images of mass graves of minks have haunted Frederiksen since 2020 and eventually led to cracks in the center-left bloc.
