Iceland appears headed to script history by becoming the first European country to elect a female majority to parliament.

According to projections based on the final election results, 33 of the 63 seats in the Althingi (Iceland’s national parliament), or 52%, have been won by women, according to a BBC report.

This would be an increase of nine seats over the last election that was held  in 2017.

No other European country has breached the 50% threshold, with Sweden achieving the highest at 47%, according to data from the Inter Parliamentary Union.

Unlike some other countries, Iceland does not have legal quotas on female representation in parliament. However, there are some political parties in the country that require a minimum number of candidates to be women.

The country has long been considered a leader in gender equality and was ranked the most gender-equal nation in the world for the 12th consecutive year in a World Economic Forum report released in March this year.
