Parliamentary elections were held in Iceland on 25 September 2021 to elect the members of the Althing.[1] Following the elections, the three parties in the ruling coalition government – the Independence Party, Progressive Party and Left-Green Movement – agreed to continue in office, with Katrín Jakobsdóttir of the Left-Green Movement remaining Prime Minister despite her party being the smallest of the three.[2][3] It was the first time an incumbent government had retained power in an election since the 2008 financial crisis.[4]
