Copenhagen [Denmark], June 2 (ANI/WAM): Mette Frederiksen has secured a third term as Denmark's Prime Minister as a coalition deal was reached around 10 weeks after parliamentary elections.
Social Democrat Frederiksen will lead a new centre-left government consisting of four parties.
Late on Monday, Frederiksen informed King Frederik X of her intention to form a coalition made up of her Social Democrats, the Socialist People's Party, the right-wing liberal Venstre party and the centrist Moderates.
"His Majesty the King has subsequently invited acting Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to form such a government," said a statement from the Danish Royal House.
Frederiksen plans to present the new government's priorities on Tuesday. The new ministers are then scheduled to be presented to the king on Wednesday. (ANI/WAM)
