Add as preferred source on GoogleExit polls from Denmark’s March 24, 2026 election show the left‑wing bloc, led by PM Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats, ahead with around 83–86 seats, but short of the 90‑seat majority; the centrist Moderates, led by Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, emerge as kingmakers.
COPENHAGEN, March 24 (Reuters) - Denmark's left-wing parties, including Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democrats, are leading over the right-wing bloc in Tuesday's election for parliament, but neither group is expected to win a majority of seats, two exit polls showed.
A poll from broadcaster DR and Epinion gave the left-wing bloc 83 seats against 79 for the right in the 179-seat assembly, while a TV2 and Megafon survey predicted 86 seats for the left and 75 for the right.
This could give Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen's non-aligned centrist Moderates the power to decide which bloc will form a government, or even leave the role of tiebreaker to the four candidates elected from Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
