Legislative elections were held in Denmark on February 8 , 2005 . Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen 's Venstre regained the largest number of seats in Parliament . The governing coalition between the Venstre and the Conservative People's Party remained intact. They will likely be supported by the Danish People's Party , which gained 2 seats. The Danish Social Liberal Party made the biggest gains of any party, although it remains outside the governing group of parties. The election marked the second time in a row that the Social Democrats were not the largest party in the parliament, a change from most of the 20th century. The party lost 5 seats and leader Mogens Lykketoft resigned immediately after the election.

The prime minister called the elections on January 18 . He claimed that he would have called it earlier, but the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake which killed a number of Danes delayed it. Rasmussen still had almost a year left in his term, but said he wanted to call the election before municipal elections in November. His reasoning was that he wanted a clear mandate for the municipal and county government restructuring that his government was implementing.

From the last election the governing coalition of ''Venstre'' and the Conservative People's Party had 94 of the 175 seats together with the supporting Danish People's Party. The election increased their mandate to 95 out of 179.
