26 October 2026

The Prime Minister's Office of Denmark states that the government Mette Frederiksen III took office on June 3, 2026. The office also states that Mette Frederiksen was appointed prime minister on June 27, 2019, so this is her third government, the third to carry her name. In Denmark the Prime Minister leads the government and the monarch is the head of state with ceremonial duties. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark notes that Danish governments are most often minority administrations, governing with the aid of one or more supporting parties in the Folketing, and that since 1909 no single party has had the majority of parliamentary seats.
