COPENHAGEN, March 24 (Reuters) – Denmark’s left-wing parties, including Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats, are leading over the right-wing bloc in Tuesday’s election for parliament, but neither group is expected to win a majority of seats, two exit polls showed.
A poll from broadcaster DR and Epinion gave the left-wing bloc 83 seats against 79 for the right in the 179-seat assembly, while a TV2 and Megafon survey predicted 86 seats for the left and 75 for the right.
This could give Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen’s non-aligned centrist Moderates the power to decide which bloc will form a government, or even leave the role of tiebreaker to the four candidates elected from Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
