A Parliamentary election is scheduled to be held in Denmark on March 24, 2026. This market will resolve to the next individual who is officially appointed as Prime Minister of Denmark following the 2026 parliamentary election. To count for resolution, the individual must be formally appointed as Prime Minister by the Danish monarch. Any interim or caretaker Prime Minister will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such Prime Minister is appointed by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Government of Denmark; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Following the March 24, 2026 snap Folketing election, which yielded a hung parliament with no outright majority among Denmark's 12 parties, caretaker Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democrats—likely the largest bloc—hold trader consensus at 72.5% implied probability for remaining in office. However, her coalition negotiations deadlocked, prompting King Frederik X on May 8 to appoint Venstre leader Troels Lund Poulsen, current Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister, as royal investigator to form a center-right government; talks began May 11 with a 14-day deadline, boosting his odds to 18.1% amid Moderates' support under former PM Lars Løkke Rasmussen (6.3%). Outcomes hinge on these fragile coalition negotiations in Denmark's proportional representation system.
