Det Konservative Folkeparti 359,394 18 (+0) 10.4 % Y. Ny Alliance 97,064 5 (new) 2.8 %
The minority incumbent coaltion of Venstre and Konservative secured just enough votes to score a majority with the support of Dansk Folkeparti and stay on as the government.
Speculation about the results centered on whether the government would have had to curry the favor of new-comer, Ny Alliance who won 5 seats, to stay in power.
