Recent election results point towards seats for The Conservatives (De Konservative) and a halving for The Social Liberals (De Radikale). According to recent exit polls from DR and TV 2, it appears that The Conservatives will retain their seat in the EU Parliament, while The Social Liberals are facing a halving of their representation. The results, published at 8 p.m., are based on interviews with voters at polling stations and suggest that both parties will continue to have a presence in the parliament.
The Conservatives, led by lead candidate Niels Flemming Hansen, seem poised to maintain their seat from the last election. Despite the anticipation surrounding the election results, the party’s political spokesperson, Mette Abildgaard, expresses optimism about the preliminary polls. She emphasizes that the election campaign has given The Conservatives an increasing sense of security, as ongoing polls have indicated they would retain their seat. “I really hope that it holds up, and we end up with conservative progress, which we will be incredibly proud of,” says Mette Abildgaard.
On the other hand, The Social Liberals, led by former youth party leader Sigrid Friis, have experienced a more turbulent election campaign. The party has consistently been on the edge in polls in terms of gaining representation in the EU Parliament. Samira Nawa, vice chair of the party’s parliamentary group, describes the situation as “nerve-wracking,” but points out that the outcome is still open and depends on margins. Despite The Social Liberals being poised to be halved compared to their previous result, according to the preliminary polls, they will still have a seat in the parliament.
This development reflects the intense competition and uncertainty that has characterized the entire election campaign for both parties. In summary, the exit polls indicate that The Conservatives are likely to retain their seat in the EU Parliament, while The Social Liberals, despite a halving, will still be represented. However, the final result still depends on the last vote count, maintaining the suspense for both parties.
