Iceland election: Independence Party 'still has most seats'

Iceland's governing coalition has suffered big losses in parliamentary elections with centre-left parties picking up many seats.

PM Bjarni Benediktsson's centre-right Independence Party remains the largest but lost nearly a quarter of its seats.

The second snap election in a year, called after a paedophile scandal, was held amid deep voter distrust.

Coalition talks are expected to be complex, with a record eight parties winning seats.

A three-party coalition is only possible if it includes both the Independence Party and its nearest rival, the Left-Green movement headed by 41-year-old Katrín Jakobsdóttir.

Most parties say investment is needed in welfare, infrastructure and tourism but disagree on how to fund it.
