Candidates

Incumbent president of Iceland Guðni Th. Jóhannesson announced in his new year's address on 1 January 2020 that he would seek re-election.[4]

Guðmundur Franklín Jónsson, a businessman and activist, announced that he would run for the office of president in a Facebook-live video on 22 April.[5]

Several other persons announced their interest in running for the office, including Axel Pétur Axelsson, a self described social engineer, who was quoted as saying that his first matter of business as president would be to dismiss all members of the Icelandic government.[6] Only the incumbent president Guðni Th. Jóhannesson and challenger Guðmundur Franklín Jónsson gathered the required number of signatures to get on the ballot.[7]
