Iceland has elected Halla Tomasdottir, a businesswoman and investor, as its new president. Tomasdottir secured 34.6% of the vote, emerging victorious over former prime minister Katrin Jakobsdottir and other candidates. The election, which saw a tight race among three leading female candidates, marks the second time in Iceland's history that a woman has been elected president. The position is largely ceremonial in the parliamentary republic. Tomasdottir's win was confirmed as early results showed her taking the lead, and she was later congratulated by Jakobsdottir. The election featured a field of 12 candidates, and the results were reported by RUV.
