Iceland briefly celebrated making history by electing Europe’s first female-majority parliament – before a recount found it had just fallen short.
The initial count had female candidates winning 33 seats in the country’s 63-seat parliament.
But hours later, a recount in western Iceland found just 30 seats had been won, a tally previously reached in their 2016 election.
