Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen to lead four-party coalition after months of uncertainty

Social Democrat stays on for third consecutive term as PM and will outline key policies by the end of Tuesday

Denmark's new government is preparing to formally present its political programme after Mette Frederiksen negotiated a third consecutive term as prime minister, this time at the head of a four-party, left-leaning minority coalition.

Announced late on Monday, the agreement between Frederiksen's Social Democrats, the Social Liberals, the Green Left and the centrist Moderates ended two months of uncertainty after March elections in which 12 parties won seats in parliament.
