Denmark’s centre-right prime minister has resigned after a general election that ended with a gain for left-leaning parties and a big loss for populists who were supporting the government.
Prime minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen’s resignation leaves the centre-left Social Democrats to try to form a one-party minority government.
Mette Frederiksen, leader of Denmark’s largest party, will start complex talks to reach a basis for a government.
She had rejected forming a coalition with Mr Loekke Rasmussen’s Liberals.
He failed to maintain a majority in parliament after the populist Danish People’s Party’s vote share plunged to 8.7% in Wednesday’s election from 21.1% in 2015.
