Former KrF leader Olaug Bollestad writes on her Facebook page on Thursday that this will be her last term in the Storting. – When I now draw the final conclusion about re-election or not, it is not about either the notification case, lack of commitment or faith in KrF’s policy, she writes. Bollestad further writes that she understands the picture and reads the signals that have been given, and has therefore decided to decline re-election as the Storting representative for Rogaland from 2025. – I will now do my part to gradually be able to return to the Storting to complete the assignment which the voters in Rogaland have given me, she writes.

On behalf of the entire party, I would like to say thank you very much. Ulstein says her political commitment to those who need it most has permeated her entire political commitment. – I am glad that she will stand for KrF in the last year until the election. Olaug has created great enthusiasm and motivation in the party organisation, and she has been important in the work to strengthen KrF’s policy in the field of health and care for the elderly.

Even if he reacts to what is happening in the party, it is out of the question to resign. – I understand Olaug Bollestad’s choice in this demanding situation, but I am most disappointed by the treatment she has received from the party.
