– I am not standing as a candidate to become party secretary – Latest news – news

30 April 2023 at 10:31 Helga Pedersen: – I am not running as a candidate to become party secretary Helga Pedersen is not running as a party secretary candidate for the Labor Party, she confirms to news. The announcement comes after the election committee in the Labor Party earlier this week put forward a recommendation in which they were in favor of Kjersti Stenseng continuing in the role for two more years. It was TV 2 that first reported the news. Several in the Labor Party have expressed that they want Tana mayor Pedersen as the new party secretary in the party, which she now says she does not want herself. – I am very happy for all the support I have received and calls to run, but have nevertheless come to the conclusion that I do not want this, she says to news. – This is because, although I consider that I would have had a reasonable opportunity to win at the national meeting, I consider that I would not have had sufficient support in the work that comes after the national meeting, she adds. The Labor Party will elect a new leadership at the national meeting on 4–6. May.
