This is confirmed by the head of the committee, Roar Aas, on Thursday evening. – It is true that there is only one person who supports the dissent, and there is also a majority for the other list. Trond Giske’s name is not on the list supported by the majority. The nomination committee is scheduled to submit its proposal for the electoral list for Sør-Trøndelag constituency on Friday. The proposal for the list will be sent to the local legislature before the nomination committee’s final recommendation will be ready on 17 October. The news comes the same evening that it became clear that Storting politician Kirsti Leirtrø is withdrawing from the nomination process. The majority wants Hopsø At the top of the list the majority in the committee wants Per Olav Skurdal Hopsø. Since last year, Hopsø has been State Secretary to Minister for Employment and Inclusion Tonje Brenna. Roar Aas says the process in the committee has been good, even though Leirtrø withdrew on the same evening as the nomination committee was supposed to meet to finalize its list. – We have had a very good, thorough and orderly process, says Aas. According to Adresseavisen, Leirtrø should have informed the committee that she is resigning at 6pm on Thursday evening. – The process has taken place over several days and we have interviewed nine relevant candidates and had many good discussions in the committee. Nevertheless, Aas says it’s a shame Leirtrø withdrew. – Kirsti is an incredibly popular politician in the municipality of Trøndelag. Believes the proposal breaks with the wishes of its members Pål Sture Nilsen is leader of the Trondheim Labor Party and forms the minority in the nomination committee. He believes that the majority’s list proposal breaks with the suggestions of the members. – My proposal is to build on the majority among the members, and a large majority wanted Trond Giske over Hopsø, says Nilsen. He says that in any case it is the members of the party who will ultimately decide the nomination battle. – I have no comment as to why others in the committee have chosen not to listen to the members’ input.
