Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson called the snap election after dissolving the coalition government of the conservative Independence Party, the center-right Progressive Party and the leftist Greens in October, citing strong disagreements over migration policy. The latest Maskina poll on voting preferences put Social Democrats ahead with 20.4%, followed by the Liberal Reform Party (Renewal) at 19.2%, the Independence Party at 14.5%, the Center Party at 11.6%, the People’s Party at 10.8%, the Progressive Party at 7.8%, and the Greens at 3.7%.
