A short-lived “presidential run”

To my surprise, I was earlier in the year included in a poll where people were asked about their views on me serving as President of Iceland and my husband and I moving to Bessastaðir - the President's Residency. In the wake of this poll, I received a lot of warm words and wishes of goodwill. I am very thankful for all these warm wishes and to those who saw us as suitable for Bessastaðir . Despite this groundswell of support, I announced in no uncertain terms that I was not considering a run for the presidency. See below for news reports on my short-lived “presidential run”:
