Opposition wins election

Last night’s election results indicate that Fólkaflokkurin (the People’s Party) and Sambandsflokkurin (the Union Party) will seek to form government together with one of the smaller parties.

The big question now is whether social democrat prime minister Aksel V. Johannesen will resign or whether he will try to form a coalition with Sambandsflokkurin and one of the minor parties.
