From "Borgen" to municipal government

When the personal votes have been counted in the Danish municipal elections, it is clear that actor Bjarne Henriksen will take a seat on the municipal council in Frederiksberg outside central Copenhagen.

Henriksen could then possibly use his experience as Minister of Defense Hans Christian Thorsen in the TV series "Borgen", which is also popular in Sweden. He has appeared in a long line of roles, including the TV series "Brottet" and "Badhotellet" and the film "Festen".

In Frederiksberg, the Social Democrats went against the national trend and strengthened their positions, and Henriksen takes one of the party's seven mandates, entirely thanks to personal votes.
