Iceland's Social Democratic Alliance wins snap election, potentially changing leadership.

In Iceland's recent election, the Social Democratic Alliance, led by Kristrun Frostadottir, secured 15 seats, becoming the largest party. This ousts the ruling Independence Party, led by Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson, which won 14 seats. The Liberal Reform Party took third place with 11 seats. With no party achieving a majority, coalition talks are crucial for forming a new government. The election was triggered by public discontent over migration, energy, and housing issues.
