Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced the upcoming parliamentary elections during a Folketing session, during which she emphasized the need for her Social Democratic party to secure sufficient public support. She used her allotted time to outline promises from her party for the elections, indicating that they are crucial not only for domestic governance but also for external relations.

Frederiksen highlighted that foreign policy issues will play a significant role in these elections, asserting that these upcoming elections are pivotal for the country's future relationships with the United States, notably in light of ongoing disputes over Greenland's ownership. As Denmark prepares to navigate potential shifts in international relations, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of armament to ensure peace in Europe as part of the nation's strategic priorities over the next four years.

Although these elections were not called as extraordinary elections, they are mandated to occur according to Denmark's constitutional timeline. Surveys indicate that the current three-party coalition may lose its majority in the upcoming vote, influenced by public dissatisfaction over rising living costs and pressures on social services institutions, which could dramatically reshape the political landscape in Denmark.
