On Tuesday evening, the board of Trondheim Ap considered the matter. In advance, it was expected that the board would be split in two and deliver two proposals to the supervisory board, which will elect the delegates on Wednesday evening. – I feel confident that the members will ultimately choose how they want it, said chairman Pål Sture Nilsen before the meeting on Tuesday. – Throughout history, Ap has had tough battles, and it has always proved that we find ourselves together again. So I hope when this nomination is over, that we can come together again as a party, and continue to work for good policies and ensure safe, good lives for the citizens. – If the members get to decide, I think this will go well, Giske told news on Tuesday evening. Clearing the list On Wednesday, the two, together with three others on the board, have delivered a list that is completely dominated by members of Nidaro’s social democratic forum. None of the peaks in Trondheim Ap are on the list. This is presented as an alternative to another list, writes Adresseavisen. The second will be in line with the tradition where the board, city council leaders, local team leaders and AUF are guaranteed a place and that the remaining places are determined by the number of members.

To news, she describes the list from Nilsen and Giske as unfortunate, surprising and sad. – I think this will be an uneasy meeting with high temperatures, she says just before the start of the meeting at 6 p.m. Party secretary Kjersti Stenseng has given the following comment to Adresseavisen: – Trondheim Labor Party should take into account that they are a large municipal party with many layers. The list of delegates should reflect that. It is common for the board, city council group, team leaders and AUF to be represented in the delegation, she says. Rages on Facebook On Facebook, Kirsti Leirtrø has also taken a hard stand with the proposal from half the board. – This is not democracy! What has gone on behind the scenes, and which led to my resignation, is very ugly and inappropriate, writes Leirtrø. Leirtrø has sat in the Storting since 2017, and withdrew from the nomination process in September. – What we see now is the extension of that. Threats and coups have no place in Norwegian politics, she continues. Storting representative for Sør-Trøndelag, Kirsti Leirtrø, rages on Facebook.

Neither Giske nor Nilsen will comment on the move from Leirtrø. Great excitement Trondheim The Labor Party is the largest municipal group in the Sør-Trøndelag constituency, and represents 57 of the 133 representatives who will adopt the electoral list at the nomination meeting on 30 November. Due to the fact that the party is divided over Giske, there is great tension about who these delegates will be. The competitor is Per Olav Hopsø. He has the support of most local teams. Many wish Per Olav Skurdal Hopsø to be at the top.

Here it emerged that their assessment is that several breaches of good organizational practice have occurred during the nomination process. – A clear violation concerns this member transfer, which is a collective member transfer towards the nomination process. We believe that is very problematic, and we also believe that it must lead to changes, said deputy chairman of Trøndelag Ap, Emil Raaen after the meeting. They therefore want changes to the articles of association that regulate member transfers. Raaen emphasizes that changes to the articles of association must come up at the national meeting, and that they will not be retroactive. According to NTB, Trond Giske believes that it is “completely in line with good organizational practice” that members of Trøndelag Ap have reported a transfer from his local team to another team.
