Bent
Sejrø
Finance Minister, former Moderate Party Leader
Bent discovered Birgitte and stepped down as the head of the party to give her the chance to steer the group in a new direction. He's acted as her mentor and close friend ever since, roles that become threatened once she's elected prime minister.
Portrayed by: Lars Knutzon
Prime Minister, Moderate Party Leader. Bent backs almost every single one of his mentee's political moves, offering guidance along the way. This proves to be more difficult during the end of Birgitte's year in office when micromanagement and backstabbing become the name of her game.
Express Editor-in-Chief, former Labor Party Leader. Bent doesn't care too much about Laugesen's accusations against him in his memoir because they're true. However, he grows impatient when Laugesen continues to push the old news down readers' throats.
Foreign Minister, Labor Party Leader. Bjørn and Pernille pressure Birgitte to fire Bent. As expected, the minister is upset by this, but expects it as a veteran politician.
Equality Minister, Labor Party Deputy Leader. Pernille is more forceful than the timid Bjørn in pressuring Birgitte to fire Bent. She wants to take over his seat as Finance Minister.
New Right Leader. Bjørn has an affair with Yvonne early on in his political career, but his marriage stays in tact. We never see the two of them interacting on the show.
