Iceland chose its second woman prime minister, Katrin Jakobsdottir of the Left-Green Movement on Thursday.

Described as "charismatic" and "trustworthy", the 41-year old will now have to lead a tricky coalition in a fragmented political landscape, the leader also announced a pact to form a three-party coalition with the conservative Independence Party and the center-right Progressive Party. 

The Icelandic general elections took place last weekend. The results show that the number of women as members of parliament decreases. The last government had 47,6% women and they will now be 38,1%, of the 63 elected members. The rate has not been this low since 2007.

NPR reports that if women formed a political party, they would need only two more seats to form a majority government
