Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced a record female majority in her third government on Tuesday. The new cabinet includes 10 women among 24 ministers, the highest level of female representation in Danish history. While most ministers retain their roles, two senior figures exchanged portfolios. Peter Hummelgaard and Nicolai Wammen swapped positions as part of the final roster released by the Prime Minister's Office.
Hummelgaard and Wammen swap ministerial posts
Peter Hummelgaard and Nicolai Wammen have exchanged ministerial portfolios in the newly formed Mette Frederiksen III Government. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen confirmed this shift in the final cabinet list released Tuesday. Official documents from the Prime Minister's Office state that each man will now lead the department previously held by the other. This swap completes the primary restructuring of the Social Democrats' top team before they assume full duties.
Remaining cabinet members see minor adjustments
The rest of the Mette Frederiksen III cabinet involves only small changes, according to the official government list. Most ministers keep their previous roles without any shift in responsibility. Only Peter Hummelgaard and Nicolai Wammen changed portfolios in this round. All other ministers retain their existing positions as part of the final lineup for the third administration.
Gender balance reaches historic levels in new team
The new cabinet features a record number of women ministers, according to the Prime Minister's Office. Officials state this distribution marks the highest level of female representation in Danish government history. The government list confirms that 10 of the 24 ministers are women. This ratio exceeds previous administrations and sets a new standard for the country.
The final roster is now complete and ready for immediate governance. All ministerial positions have been filled following the recent personnel swaps and adjustments.
