*Løkke:* 'I cannot be an angry and disappointed man'

*****************************************************

So far, the Moderates are represented in five municipalities.

Lars Løkke Rasmussen (M) is "okay satisfied" with the fact that the party is so far represented in five municipalities. 32 minutes ago

There is so far a small election festival to track at the Moderates.

Approximately half of the municipalities have been counted and so far the party is represented in five Danish municipalities.

The final results are therefore far from clear, but according to party leader Lars Løkke Rasmussen, one should hold on to the fact that the party is still new.

- I am therefore, in essence, okay satisfied. With full 100% certainty, we are now elected in five municipalities, and that is, in essence, okay fine.

- I hold on to it first and foremost to the fact that we are a new party. We are building up. It has been a fest to come around in Denmark. There has been good mood. Many engaged candidates, and we come in all around and make a difference and build up to what is the decisive battle for us - namely the parliamentary election, which I don't know when it will be, but three quarters of a year or so sounds like it from Løkke.

You say yourself parliamentary election - if one is to judge from this, it does not look like your form curve is super good before the here parliamentary election, if you don't come up with a significant higher vote count, than what we see here?

- That should not be judged.

- This is a municipal election, and of course we want to get into as many municipalities as possible, and we are also doing so. We are currently in five. That is really, really good. The places where we do not come in, there we are very, very, very close, and for us it also matters to build up.

Cannot be 'an angry and disappointed man'

----------------------------------------

According to Lars Løkke Rasmussen, the candidates have learned a lot from the campaign and have continued to go forward and are ready for the next election.

- I cannot stand and be an angry and disappointed man over this.

One of the municipalities we are still waiting for a result from is Helsingør Municipality.

Here Lars Løkke Rasmussens son Bergur Løkke Rasmussen is running for the Moderates. Two days before election day he announced himself as mayor candidate ().

The result can be found in our liveblog when the municipality is counted:
