Partial results show a clear majority for Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir’s left-right coalition, but it is unclear if the three parties will agree to continue in power together.
Iceland’s government was poised to win a clear majority in Saturday’s election, partial results showed, though it remained to be seen if Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir’s left-right coalition would agree to continue in power together.
The three-party coalition has brought Iceland four years of stability after a decade of crises.
With more than a third of votes counted, Jakobsdottir’s Left-Green Movement, the conservative Independence Party and the centre-right Progressive Party were together credited with 41 of 63 seats in parliament, up from the 33 seats they held previously.
