"I'm extremely proud of all the work that we've done. We obviously see that people want to see changes in the political landscape," Social Democratic leader Kristrun Mjoll Frostadottir said as results started coming in.
"It seems that the Reform Party is critical in this because they have the option of joining a coalition with the Social Democrats and the People's Party, and they also have the option of forming a coalition with the Independence Party and the Centre Party," said Stefania Oskarsdottir, a political scientist at the University of Iceland.
"This weekend's results more than doubled the share the Social Democrats won in the previous election in 2021," RUV reported, highlighting a shift in voter sentiment towards the Social Democratic Alliance.
"It very much depends on whether she can convince the president that she is the most likely to be able to form a coalition," Oskarsdottir said regarding Frostadottir's challenge ahead.
