PredecessorFrederiksen II

The third cabinet of Mette Frederiksen (self-styled: firkløverregeringen;[2] lit. 'Four-leaf clover Government') is the Danish government since 3 June 2026, succeeding the previous second Frederiksen cabinet. The government was formed after the 2026 Danish election.[3][4]

On 1 June 2026, a coalition agreement was reached between the four parties.[3] The agreement itself was presented on Tuesday, 2 June 2026,[4] while the ministers were announced and appointed by royal decree on Wednesday, 3 June 2026.[5][4][6]

Headed by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it is a centre-left government,[7] consisting of the Social Democrats, the Green Left, the Moderates, and the Social Liberals. It was announced after record-long negotiations lasting 69 days,[4][8] beating the record previously held by the second Frederiksen cabinet.[9] The government is supported by the Red–Green Alliance and The Alternative.[4] It is also supported by the Social Democratic Party and the Union Party from the Faroe Islands, as well as Inuit Ataqatigiit and Naleraq from Greenland.[10]

It is the first Danish cabinet to have a majority of women, with 11 out of 21 ministers.[11]
