Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen wins a general election in which the Christian Democrats get only 0.5% of votes after months of internal division.

The rise of the Greens and the Liberals makes them essential to reach a coalition deal.

Mette Frederiksen is set to be the country's youngest ever Prime Minister. Centre-right party leader, Lars Rasmussen, has resigned.

The SPD would have Finance, Labor and Foreign Affairs Ministries. Merkel’s CDU gains the Economy Ministry, and Bavaria's CSU takes over the Interior Ministry.
