"With 88 percent of votes counted, projections credited the left bloc with 84 seats in the 179-seat parliament and the right with 77, with 90 seats needed for a majority."
"The likely result means thorny negotiations are expected in the coming days and weeks to build a coalition government backed by a majority in parliament."
"The current, centrist government of the Social Democrats, Moderates, and Venstre, backed by smaller parties, took heavy losses."
"The results leave the unaligned Moderate party, projected to take around 14 seats, with a decisive say in who takes power."
The Social Democrats, led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, are projected to secure the most seats in the Danish general election but will not achieve an overall majority. With 88 percent of votes counted, the left bloc is estimated to have 84 seats, while the right bloc has 77. The centrist Moderate party, likely to gain 14 seats, may play a crucial role in coalition negotiations. The election results indicate a shift in momentum towards conservative parties, with hard-right parties also gaining support.
