Former presidential candidate Arnar Þór Jónsson is contemplating the establishment of a new political party in Iceland. Reports suggest that disgruntled current and former members of the Independence Party are rallying to create this new political entity, with Arnar Þór among those prominently considered for leadership.

In discussions with numerous people, Arnar Þór has received encouragement to move forward with this initiative. He has already begun preliminary brainstorming, focusing on what needs to be done to reinvigorate Icelandic politics in a thoughtful and ethical manner. A significant decision regarding the party’s formation is expected by mid-August, shortly after Arnar Þór returns to Iceland from his summer vacation.

In the meantime, he plans to assess the situation and evaluate the feasibility of launching the party. If it materializes, an announcement regarding the party’s formation will be made around mid-next month, followed by the organization of a founding meeting.

Arnar Þór’s initiative reflects a growing sentiment among those dissatisfied with the current political landscape, indicating a potential shift in Icelandic politics ahead.
