The head of the liberal Venstre party said attempts to form a right-wing government had failed on Friday
The king of Denmark re-appointed outgoing Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to lead talks to form a government on Saturday after two failed rounds of coalition talks following inconclusive elections in March.
“Parties representing a majority in the Folketing have recommended that acting Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen be appointed to lead negotiations on the formation of a government,” the palace said in a statement.
On Friday, the head of the liberal Venstre party, Troels Lund Poulsen, announced attempts to form a right-wing government had failed, as the Moderates were unable to support the minority coalition.
He had replaced Frederiksen on 8 May, who was iniatially tasked to form a government.
