Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen is set to retain power after today's general election.
His centre-right coalition is on target for a third term in office, according to projections from public service broadcaster DR.
With 9% of votes counted, DR predicted that the Liberal-Conservative coalition and its far-right ally, the Danish People's Party, would take 94 seats in the 179-seat parliament - an absolute majority.
Exit polls before voting ended had suggested the bloc, led by Mr Rasmussen's Liberals, would need the added muscle of the New Alliance, a six-month-old centrist party that had pledged to support Rasmussen in coalition talks.
The Social Democrat-led opposition was trailing with 77 seats, the projection showed, while New Alliance got four seats.
