STORYLINE:
Polling stations across Denmark opened Tuesday in a national election expected to change the Scandinavian nation’s political landscape, with new parties hoping to enter parliament and others seeing their support dwindle.
Neither the center-left nor the center-right is expected to capture a majority, which is 90 seats in the 179-seat Folketing legislature.
That could leave a former prime minister who left his party to create a new one this year, in a kingmaker position with his votes being needed to form a new government.
More than 4 million Danish voters can choose among 14 parties.
Domestic themes have dominated the campaign, ranging from tax cuts and a need to hire more nurses to financially supporting Danes amid inflation and soaring energy prices because of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
