Social Democrats triumph in Icelandic elections, government party crashes out
The Social Democratic Alliance (Samfylkingin) has emerged as the clear victor in Iceland’s parliamentary elections on November 30, 2024, marking a dramatic turnaround for the party under the leadership of Kristrún Frostadóttir. Since taking over as leader three years ago, Frostadóttir has revitalized the Social Democrats, propelling their popularity to new heights. The party secured 21.8% of the vote in this election, translating to 15 seats in the 63-seat Althingi parliament, a significant increase from the 6 seats they held previously.
