The Reformist Party announced it will participate in the local elections in Ísafjörður under its own banner, rather than as part of the previous coalition list.
The Reformist Party (Viðreisn) has declared its intention to run independently in the upcoming municipal elections in Ísafjörður on May 16, 2026. This decision marks a departure from their previous collaboration under the 'I-list' coalition. According to the announcement, while the party had been a part of the I-list for prior elections, they could not reach an agreement for continued partnership, signaling a shift in the political landscape of the municipality.
In their statement, the Reformist Party expressed gratitude for the productive partnership with the other parties that formed the I-list, emphasizing that the split was amicable. The party is now focusing on creating its own platform aimed at advancing the interests of the municipality and its residents. With a strong commitment from local members of the Reformist Party, there is an expectation of an energized campaign in the months leading up to the elections.
Additionally, it has been announced that a nomination committee has begun working on forming a competitive list of candidates for the elections. This proactive approach demonstrates the party's dedication to making a significant impact in the forthcoming local elections, which will be closely watched given the recent changes in their political strategy and the dynamic nature of local politics in Ísafjörður.
