Copenhagen, March 25 (Xinhua) — Denmark's ruling Social Democratic Party (SDPD) once again took first place in Tuesday's parliamentary elections, according to preliminary official results from mainland Denmark, with vote counting continuing in Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

As of 11:35 pm local time, preliminary results from 1,306 of 1,314 polling stations in mainland Denmark showed the SDPD winning 21.9 percent of the vote (27.6 percent in 2022).

The Socialist People's Party came in second with 11.5 percent, followed by the Liberal Party of Denmark /Venstre/ with 10.3 percent, the Liberal Alliance with 9.4 percent and the Danish People's Party with 9.2 percent.

Although the Social Democrats, led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, are in the lead, they do not have an absolute majority, and the number of mandates will be significantly reduced compared to the previous term.

On February 26, M. Frederiksen announced that 179 members of the Folketing (unicameral parliament) would be elected in the vote, including two representatives each from Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

As stipulated by the Danish multi-party system, negotiations to form a new government will take place after the elections. –0–
