| Description | Denmark's centre-left has won the general election, ending nearly a decade in opposition.
With nearly all votes counted, the bloc led by Social Democrat leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt was headed for a narrow majority in parliament.
She is set to become Denmark's first woman prime minister. Incumbent Lars Lokke Rasmussen has admitted defeat.
Ms Thorning-Schmidt had campaigned on a platform of tax rises and increased public spending.
She also promised to roll back tough immigration laws proposed by elements of the current coalition.
