The nomination committee in the Oslo Labor Party wants Hadia Tajik in second place – Greater Oslo

Thus, the nomination committee has had its say in the intense dispute about who will have the place behind party leader Jonas Gahr Støre on the Oslo Ap’s Storting list. Kamzy Gunaratnam or Hadia Tajik? The nomination committee writes in a press release that they have tried many things to arrive at a unanimous recommendation, where both Tajik and Gunaratnam were given central places on the list. – Unfortunately, it has not been possible to achieve this, writes the committee. Eight members want Tajik in second place, while one member wants Gunaratnam Both sit in the Storting today. Tajik is in his fourth term and has been a minister and deputy leader of the Labor Party. Gunaratnam came from her job as deputy mayor in Oslo when she was elected to the Storting in 2021. Everything will be decided next Tuesday Now everything is up to the members at the nomination meeting on Tuesday 26 November. It could be extremely even, at least if we are to judge from the input from the party teams in the capital. In the last consultation round, 21 Labor Party teams point to Kamzy Gunaratnam. 20 teams want Hadia Tajik in 2nd place. In the first round, Gunaratnam had a clearer lead. In the meantime, the nomination committee’s first draft of the electoral list came out in October. There Tajik was second in the list with eight votes to one. Also fighting for 4th place At the time, the committee was also divided in its view of who should have 4th place – behind Deputy Chairman and Minister of Industry Jan Christian Vestre in third. A majority would oust incumbent Storting representative Trine Lise Sundnes in favor of 27-year-old Agnes Nærland Viljugrein. She currently leads the district committee in Old Oslo.
