Headed by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it is a centrist government,[2] consisting of the Social Democrats, Venstre, and the Moderates. It was announced on 13 December following a record 42 days of negotiations.[3][4] The government is supported by the Union Party and the Social Democratic Party from the Faroe Islands, as well as Naleraq and Inuit Ataqatigiit from Greenland.[5] As the government has 90 of the 179 seats in the Folketing with its support parties, it effectively operates as a majority government.[6]

Following the 2026 election, on 25 March Frederiksen presented her resignation to Frederik X, and took on the role of caretaker government, until a new government can be presented.[7][8] On 1 June 2026, following long post-election negotiations, it was announced that the government would be succeeded by the Frederiksen III Cabinet.[9]
