Headed by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it is a centrist grand coalition consisting of the Social Democrats (S), Venstre (V) and the Moderates (M). It was announced on 13 December following a record 42 days of negotiations. The government is supported by the Union Party and the Social Democratic Party from the Faroe Islands, as well as Siumut and Inuit Ataqatigiit from Greenland. As the government has 93 of the 179 seats in the Folketing with its support parties, it effectively operates as a majority government.
It is the first time in more than 40 years the Social Democrats and the Liberals (Venstre), who are usually rivals, are in a government together.
