Headed by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it is a 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.[2][3] 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.[4] The Social Liberals has also said that it intends to be neither a supporting party nor part of the opposition.[1] As the government has 88 of the 179 seats in the Folketing, it effectively operates as a majority government.[5]

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.[6]
