– Stop reaching down on each other. The personal attacks come more frequently and are rougher. I can’t have it like this. This is what the leader of Trondheim Ap, Pål Sture Nilsen, said when he opened the evening’s meeting of the representative board of Trondheim Ap. Tonight, the municipal party will come up with input on the proposal where Giske was removed from the Storting list. – It is the members who decide which way to go. This list has no roots in reality, says Nilsen about the proposal to the nomination committee. Trondheim itself chose Giske as the top candidate on its list. This meeting was later criticized for being messy and unclear. Several local teams wanted the meeting to be investigated. – Some described it as chaos, others say it was a well-led meeting, replies Nilsen. – Today we will get to know what Trondheim Ap wants until the nomination, he adds. Giske first to the top, then the rest Giske was chosen as the top candidate on the nomination list when Trondheim Ap adopted its proposal on 15 August. Then he received a total of 104 votes against 68 votes for Tung in the battle for first place for Trondheim Ap. But when the nomination committee came up with its proposal after input from all the municipal teams, Giske was left out of the proposal. Only one of nine members of the committee who wanted Trond Giske in the Storting. – I am satisfied with the list. It was a thorough discussion and a good piece of work. I am courting the youth and want someone who can bring the party together. This is what the head of the nomination committee, Roar Aas, told news. List proposal from the nomination committee in the south: This is the list from the majority in the nomination committee constituency south: Per Olav Skurdal Hopsø Sara Shafighi Isak V. Busch Emilie Græsli Jan Haugen Vibeke Stjern Håkon Einarsve Marit Bjerkås This is the list from the minority: Trond Giske Anniken Refseth Isak V. Busch Kristine Solli Kjell-Arve Aspaas Giske is optimistic when it comes to securing a place on the list. – Ultimately, it is the members of the Trøndelag Labor Party who decide, said Giske after he was rejected by the nomination committee. A divided Trondheim Ap Ever since Giske was elected deputy leader of Trondheim Ap in February this year, personal disputes and internal conflict have plagued the municipal party. And in the nomination process, Trondheim Ap is still divided. – I have big challenges. How we assemble the team is up to the board of Trondheim Ap, but we in the nomination committee will now do our part. That’s according to Aas, who believes the nomination committee has come up with a unified list for the party. – We have conducted interviews, taken input from the party team and come up with an exciting list of renewal, but at the same time competence and experience. In our opinion, a unifying list, he adds. Aas clarifies that it was about 40% of Trondheim Ap that did not go for Giske last time. But who ends up at the top of the Storting list for the Labor Party in Sør-Trøndelag election will finally be decided on 30 November. Then a final list from the Labor Party in North and South Trøndelag will be elected. But before that time, the municipal party must come up with its input and then the nomination committee must present a final proposal for the Storting list. Several say no to the Storting During the nomination process, several of Trønder’s Ap politicians have withdrawn. The day before the nomination committee presented its proposal, Kirsti Leirtrø announced that she would not be re-elected to the Storting. Nor does Digitalization Minister Karianne Tung want four years in the Storting. But in the Labor Party in Nord-Trøndelag, Ingvild Kjerkol will continue in the Storting, but will be defeated by several local groups. Published 19.09.2024, at 18.03 Updated 19.09.2024, at 18.39
