REYKJAVIK, June 25 : Iceland is expected to elect a political newcomer as president on Saturday with polls predicting a landslide victory for Gudni Johannesson, a history professor and political commentator who has never held public office. Johannesson, 47, only decided to run for the post after the "Panama Papers" leak in April detailing offshore accounts implicated several senior Icelandic politicians, including the then-prime minister who was forced to resign. ?AFP
