The Conservative Party invited to a press conference about the political situation and the polls in Trondheim after the municipal elections. MDG, Venstre, Sp, KrF and the Pensioners’ Party were also present. In the previous period, MDG, KrF and Sp were in a position together with the Labor Party and the left-wing parties. – We have now jointly chosen to draw up an agreement where we start negotiations with the aim of obtaining a governing majority with me as mayor of Trondheim. The negotiations will start in due course, says Ranum at the press conference. He says that they are going out with this now so that the residents know that they are talking together, and want to get a clarification as quickly as possible.

Ranum says they have had a good dialogue with the FRP throughout. – It is part of the further negotiations, where the FRP is also involved, he says. – Good talks All parties who stood by Ranum at the press conference say the talks between them have been good. – The talks have been characterized by generosity, and we want to negotiate a platform based on centre-right cooperation, says Vegard Fenes from the Center Party. – We have had a good dialogue. We have had constructive and good meetings, and that is why we stand here today and present ourselves as a good alternative in Trondheim politics, says Morten Kokaas from the Pensioners’ Party.
