Høyre, KrF, Venstre and Frp have a majority in Oslo, the election results show. – The voters have given the Conservative Party great confidence. And we should thank them for that, said the party’s city council leader candidate Eirik Lae Solberg. At Høyre’s election vigil, there was great cheering on Monday evening. He said that already tomorrow – Tuesday – he will call the parties that now make up the majority for talks. – The goal of those talks is to equip Oslo with a new city council and a new political direction. And that Anne Lindboe is elected mayor, said Lae Solberg to great cheers from the hall. – I can hardly talk, because I’m smiling so insanely, said the Conservative mayoral candidate Anne Lindboe from the podium when news’s election forecast came out. The Conservative leaders boasted of a great effort from volunteers in the election campaign – who, among other things, knocked on more than 54,500 doors, according to Lindboe. The result shows that the right has a majority. While Ap makes its worst choice since before the Second World War. Liberal leader: – Now there will be a change Liberal leader Hallstein Bjercke says that he has already agreed to talks and points to Eirik Lae Solberg as the new city council leader.

That means there is a basis for a change, says Bjercke. He maintains that Venstre’s first choice is a blue-green city council and will extend a hand to the MDGs. He will still not rule out a collaboration with the FRP. Labor Party is not satisfied The Labor Party kept hope for a long time. – The show ain’t over till the fat lady sings, said Raymond Johansen on his way down from the lectern at the party’s election vigil around midnight. But he then acknowledged that it looked demanding. Raymond Johansen smiles at the election vigil in Oslo, despite the fact that Ap is facing its worst election since before the Second World War.

There are still 200,000 votes that have not been counted. Then the figures showed that Oslo Ap is going back by 2 percentage points since the last election. – We are not satisfied with an election result similar to this, said Jacobsen. The result ended up not being all that bad. But they have decreased by 1.4 percentage points since 2019. The cheers were loud at Høyre’s election vigil when they saw news’s election forecast.

Small party inside Both the Conservative Party, FRP and Liberal Party continue from the last election. The right is by far the largest. But it is not a given who will end up in the city council together. It will become clear after talks. Before the election, polls showed that several small parties could end up deciding who will govern. But the Industrial and Business Party did not enter. And the Center Party is out of the city council. They have been sitting there for the last four years. At the same time, the Center Party is in. This is how the party breakdown looks according to the forecast: Weak Labor polls Already this spring, the polls showed that there could be a shift in Oslo. In news’s May poll, Ap had less than 16 percent. They made some progress in our last survey before the election, in August. But it was then clear that the right side would win. And voter Anne Syrstadeng feels that the winds of change are blowing in the capital tonight. – I have a feeling about it, she says on her way into the voting booth. Anne Syrstadeng is concerned with the environment, but also with taking care of important traditions. Photo: Hallgeir Braastad / news Most of all, she wants the politicians to agree on important issues. – I do improvisational theatre, and I almost wish you could put the politicians together so they could play a bit now and then, she says with a laugh. Here you can follow the latest news about the election in Oslo: Jonathan Lundblad and Sebastian Foss had joined forces to vote. – I work in a nursery myself, so I am very concerned about children and young people, and what rights they should have. And environment. That’s a strong point for me, says Sebastian. Jonathan Lundblad (left) and Sebastian Foss think it is important to use their vote in local elections.

Heavy decline for the MDGs In news’s forecast, the Labor Party is falling by over two percentage points since the last election. But the city council party that is going backwards the most is MDG. According to the forecast, they will decrease by approx. 5 percentage points, and ends at around 10 percent. Confused about what words like “mandate”, “civic” and “slinger” mean?
