Liberal leader Jakob Ellemann-Jensen is not the only prospective new prime minister among the blue bloc, as Søren Pape Poulsen has officially confirmed that he wants to stand as a candidate to become prime minister.
As leader of the Conservatives, he said this week that he wants to improve Denmark without putting the country through too many new political “experiments”.
Close race
For several months, Poulsen has been ahead of Ellemann-Jensen in the race to become prime minister (9/4 vs 11/4), although their parties have been level in the opinion polls.
Should Poulsen become prime minister, he will become Denmark’s first gay prime minister.
