Jóhannesson just got in with the final results
Sigurður Ingi Jóhannsson, chairman of the Progressive Party, re-entered parliament after the final results were received from the Southwest Constituency as a balancing member.
At around eight o'clock this morning he was out and Lilja Dögg Alfreðsdóttir, deputy chairman of the Progressive Party, was in his place. Now, however, Alfreðsdóttir has dropped out and Jóhannesson has entered.
Then, Grímur Grímsson, a police chief, entered as a balancing member in Reykjavík north of The Liberal Reform Party and Jón Pétur Zimsen is a balancing member in Reykjavík south of the Independence Party.
Other equalization members are Dagbjört Hákonardóttir in Reykjavík North for the Independence Party, Kolbrún Áslaugar Baldursdóttir in Reykjavík South for the People's Party, Rósa Guðbjartsdóttir for the Independence Party and Jónína Björk Óskarsdóttir for the People's Party in the Southwest, Lilja Rafney Magnúsdóttir for the People's Party in the Northwest and Þórarinn Ingi Pétursson for Progress in the Northeast.

They get no representatives
The Left-Green Movement did not have a good election, to put it mildly, and ended up with 2.3% of the votes, losing eight MPs, and will now have no representation in government. The Pirate Party lost six MPs, ended up with 3% of the votes, and won’t get any representation in government.
The Socialist Party did better than those two parties, with 4% of the votes, but not well enough to get any MPs. The Democratic Party got 1% and the Responsible Party got 0%.
