However, he has lived in Aarhus since 2005 and is pleased that he was elected by the members of the constituency on Saturday.
– I am pleased. It is the members who decide in a party, so it is important to get the support, I would like to say thank you for that. I look forward to the work, which is a big task ahead of me and the Radicals in East Jutland, he says.
Andreas Steenberg has been in the Folketing since 2011 and has previously been a member of the Regional Council in Central Jutland and national chairman of the youth party.
In the latest poll from the Voxmeter institute for Ritzau, the Radicals stand to get 4.3 percent of the vote. It is the lowest connection in five years.
The Aarhus district is considered to be a safer district than Steenberg’s old one.
– It is clear that it is a safer circle. The first mandate in East Jutland falls earlier than West Jutland, and that is of course also one of the reasons, says Steenberg.
He was born in Randers, but now lives in Risskov with his wife and two children aged four and seven.
Kathrine Olldag came to the Folketing in 2019 and is going to take over Steenberg’s old circle, where she was born. However, she will stay in Vordingborg.
As the polls suggest, the party will not be able to elect two members to her current constituency. Voter Zenia Stampe is the second member of the constituency.
In 2020, Morten Østergaard resigned as leader due to cases of unwanted sexual attention from him towards others in the party.
