Denmark's center-left has won the country's general election, turning Social Democrat leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt into the country's first woman prime minister, BBC reported.
With all votes counted, the centre-left bloc won 89 seats in Denmark's 179-seat parliament against 86 for the centre-right. Turnout was high at 87.7%.
"We did it... today we've written history," Thorning-Schmidt told jubilant supporters.
She is a former MEP (member of the European Parliament) and is married to Stephen Kinnock, son of British Labour Party politicians Neil and Glenys Kinnock.
Incumbent Lars Lokke Rasmussen has admitted defeat.
