Ingvild Kjerkol resigned earlier this year as Minister of Health and Care. This happened after her master’s thesis was rejected due to plagiarism. Motivated – I have decided to make myself available to the party. I am motivated to continue in politics because Norway needs a strong Labor Party. I have a great capacity for work, and my time as a minister also showed that I can get things done. – Trøndelag needs a political majority that knows the various challenges in Norway, and I still feel I have a lot left to do, says Kjerkol to Trønder-Avisa. Ap may lose a Kjerkol topped the Storting list for Ap in Nord-Trøndelag in 2021. The Labor Party currently has two parliamentary representatives from the Nord-Trøndelag constituency, but the party is likely to lose one of them according to the latest opinion polls. In April, Kjerkol resigned as Minister of Health and Welfare after the Student Affairs Committee at Nord University found her guilty of cheating on her master’s thesis. A decision she has appealed. – Had to think about it – Ingvild Kjerkol obviously needed the summer to think about it before she answered the nomination question. A politician needs trust from his voters and this trust was worn thin after the plagiarism accusations. Now she obviously hopes that the voters have forgotten the plagiarism case when the election is held next autumn. So says political commentator in news Trøndelag, Linda Bjørgan. – There is no doubt that Kjerkol has a high star in the Labor Party both locally and nationally and that she also enjoys respect for the political work she does. We will only know if the voters forgive her for the plagiarism case after the election in 2025, says Bjørgan. Published 01.08.2024, at 18.09 Updated 01.08.2024, at 18.22
