The Newly Elected Parliament Holds Its First Session

An inscription above the entrance to the Parliament chamber in Danish, ''Meth logh skal landh bygges,'' which reads ''With law the land shall be built,'' is seen prior to the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) following the election at Christiansborg in Copenhagen, Denmark, on April 10, 2026. The newly elected Folketing is scheduled to convene no later than 12 Noon on April 10. The first meeting will be chaired by Lars Lokke Rasmussen, the MP with the highest seniority, who has served for 32 years. During the meeting, a temporary chairman will be elected.
