Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democrats won the most votes in Tuesday's Danish general election but slumped to its weakest performance since 1903, as her coalition bloc failed to secure a majority, BBC reported. 

With 21.9% of the vote, Frederiksen's party still has by the far the most seats, but her left-wing grouping has fallen well short of the 90 seats needed to form a majority.

The Social Democrats have been in power since 2019, and Frederiksen told cheering supporters she was "sorry that we did not get more votes".
