Presidential elections were planned to be held in Iceland on 28 June 2008.
The incumbent president ÃÂlafur Ragnar GrÃÂmsson, first elected in 1996, stated in his New Year's speech that he would contest the election for a fourth term.
ÃÂstþór Magnússon, who ran unsuccessfully in 1996 and 2004, ruled out running for the presidency.
No challenger to the incumbent president filed by the deadline to declare a candidacy on 24 May 2008, and so ÃÂlafur Ragnar's fourth term was won uncontested.
ÃÂlafur Ragnar was sworn in on 1 August 2008.
