Early life

Political career

Lenya Rún advocates for an embetterment of the rights for the asylum seekers[4] the legalization of drugs and a solution of the climate crisis.[5] Following the Icelandic parliamentary election on 25 September 2021, it was announced that she had been elected as a member of parliament for the constituency Reykjavík North, winning one of the nine available leveling seats.[6][2] At the age of 21, she would have been the youngest parliamentarian in the history of Alþingi, 22-days younger than Jóhanna María Sigmundsdóttir.[7] However, after a recount in the Northwest constituency on 26 September, five leveling seats where reshuffled, meaning Lenya Rún and four other candidates lost their seats.[8][9][10]

On 27 December 2021, she took a seat at Alþingi as a deputy member of parliament, temporarily replacing Andrés Ingi Jónsson.[11]
