Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s future was uncertain on March 25 after her party lost ground in a snap election held the previous day.

The vote returned an inconclusive result: all three parties in the coalition government, including Frederiksen’s Social Democrats, the Venstre (Liberal Party), and the Moderates, had fewer seats than before.
