Background

Vermund is a graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and worked as an architect before entering politics. She was the owner of the company Vermund Gere Arkitekter MAA.[2] Vermund is divorced from her first husband Johnny Gere and is the mother of three boys. In 2019, she married Danish author and businessman Lars Tvede.[3] In 2021, they were divorced, and in March 2022 she announced her engagement to former DBU director Claus Bretton-Meyer.[4]

Political career

Vermund was a member of the Conservative People's Party and sat on the municipal council in Helsingør Municipality for the party from 2009 to 2011.[5] In October 2015, she co-founded the New Right party with Peter Seier Christensen. Vermund stated that she founded the party as she felt her old party had become too soft on the issues of immigration and the European Union.[6] Vermund was elected to the Folketing in 2019.[7] In January 2023, Vermund announced she would not be standing for re-election at the next Danish general election and would therefore be resigning as leader of New Right in the coming year.[8] On 7 February 2023 she was succeeded by Lars Boje Mathiesen as party leader.[9]

A month later on 10 March 2023, it was announced that the national executive of Nye Borgerlige the day before had unanimously chosen to dismiss Boje Mathiesen as party leader and expel him from the party after disputes over remuneration and campaign finances.[10][11] Following the expulsion of Boje, Vermund conveyed her willingness to once again take over as party leader[12][13] and to run in the next general election.[14]
