Icelandic voters give center-left opposition narrow election win

REYKJAVIK, Iceland - Icelanders, angry over a string of political scandals, ousted the center-right government in an election that could pave the way for a young charismatic opposition leader to form a left-leaning coalition, final vote counts showed on Sunday.

With the defeat of incumbent Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson's coalition government, his main opponent, the Left-Green Movement's Katrin Jakobsdottir, will likely get a chance to form a narrow majority in parliament.

Still, the composition of the coalition government remained uncertain, as the president had not yet mandated a party to form one.
