This development signals potential internal conflict within the party as it prepares for the election.
The nomination committee is set to unveil the party's list for the municipal elections soon, which has generated considerable intrigue among party members and constituents alike. So far, Brynja Dan is aware that two individuals, including herself and her deputy Hlynur Bæringsson, have put their names forward to lead the party.
