Danish term or phrase: 1853 optrådte han imod det nationalliberale Partis Opposition
From a Danish biography that looks like it's written in the 19th century. Full phrase: "1853 optrådte han imod det nationalliberale Partis Opposition og søgte Valg til Folketinget i Ringkøbing Amts 1. Kreds, men uden Held." At first glance, I thought "optrådte imod" meant acting against the national liberal party mentioned, but then it says he sought election, which might imply that he wanted election in that party. "nationalliberale Partis Opposition" is also a bit confusing. In modern language a party's opposition would be another party. However, that would make little sense here, and it looks like it should mean "the opposition from the national liberal party". Elsewhere, the text describes the man as a liberal person wanting more freedom for smallholders, freedom of press etc. Anyone familiar with that sort of text?

ran for election


Explanation:
The only thing I can imagine from the context is that he ran for election as an independent, but it is a guess. I am not aware of any older meanings of "optræde imod"
