For the first time since the war, KrF disappeared below the threshold during the election in 2021. The party has remained there ever since. Support is also not particularly high ahead of the upcoming municipal council and county council elections. When the deadline for submitting lists expired on 31 March, the party presented lists in 202 municipalities and seven joint lists. There are 22 fewer municipalities than at the last municipal election, and KrF is the party that is in decline the most. CONCERNED: Bollestad has a lot to think about before the autumn municipal elections. This means that in 154 Norwegian municipalities there will not be separate lists from KrF in the ballot box when the municipal elections are held on 11 September. Here from the Storting’s Question Time in January.

In 2018, then party leader Knut Arild Hareide wanted KrF to cooperate with the red-green side, but resigned when he lost the general election. The heir Kjell Ingolf Ropstad resigned just before the election in 2021 after revelations of commuter housing corruption. Now it is Olaug Bollestad who is responsible for getting the KrF ship on the right track again. In news’s opinion poll in February, the party only received support from 3.5 percent of voters.

Bollestad is ready to take up the fight for voters’ votes during the autumn local elections. Photo: Line Fosser Vogt / news Will continue as a centrist party Traditional issues such as family, school and care for the elderly, but also nuclear power, the electricity crisis and ground rent are among the many topics to be discussed during the national meeting. Bollestad says the KrF will continue to be a Christian-democratic centrist party that is rooted in the same values as when the party was founded 90 years ago. Deputy chair election Election of a new deputy chair is the big item at the national meeting on Saturday. The selection committee has selected Ida Lindtveit Røse. She is from Oppegård in Viken, and is a former KrFU leader. Røse has announced that she wants to develop a new policy, strengthen the organization and secure new recruitment in order to speed up the KrF again. Before the national meeting, it became known that Lossius is also running as a candidate for the position of deputy chairman of KrF. It is expected that precisely the issue of abortion, and the following question of values, may become significant in the election of a new deputy.
