Already on 1 September, the board of Vestre Toten H\u00f8gre voted no-confidence against the party’s mayoral candidate, Kjetil Sangnes. The reason is a concrete incident the top candidate was involved in. It is said to have been about disagreements that escalated between Sangnes and other elected officials from other parties in the municipality. – The matter is serious in relation to H\u00f8gre’s regulations, says head of Vestre Toten H\u00f8gre, \u00d8ivind S\u00f8rhusbakken. – There is no reason to exclude him from the party, but it is a clear breach of H\u00f8gre’s ethical guidelines.

S\u00f8rhusbakken emphasizes that Sangnes is still a member of H\u00f8gre, and has a place in the municipal board group. – We have only made a decision on whether he is our candidate for mayor or not. Get the deputy mayor – but don’t know who it will be Updated: On Thursday afternoon, it became clear that H\u00f8gre, the Center Party and the FRP have agreed on a collaboration. The center party gets the mayor. Thus, 36-year-old Dorthe \u00d8degaard Benckert becomes the new mayor of Vestre Toten. NEW MAYOR: Dorthe \u00d8degaard Benckert (36) from the Center Party.

It cannot be Kjetil Sangnes, says negotiation leader Elin Synn\u00f8ve Solberg. Who it will be instead will be decided at the group board meeting on Monday. Elin Synn\u00f8ve Solberg, says the lack of confidence is also a reason why they give Sp the mayorship, even though H\u00f8gre was bigger than them in the election. – It is the best thing for the climate of interaction going forward in view of the unrest surrounding our candidate, she says. Hiding it Both the board of Vestre Toten H\u00f8gre and the county party were aware of the case against the mayoral candidate before election day, according to OA. Nevertheless, they chose to keep it a secret from the voters. S\u00f8rhusbakken says that it was out of consideration for the mayoral candidate that they did not tell the voters about the situation. – We know there had been a lot of speculation, so to take care of him, we have chosen to resolve the matter internally, says S\u00f8rhusbakken. – Isn’t that deceiving the voters? – No, I don’t think so. We have voters who believe in H\u00f8gre. It is important to us. It is also important for us to bring about a change in the municipality after 100 years of Labor Party government. Here, we have done what we can to ensure that he has the best possible situation. In a press release, the local team wrote that they consider themselves to be done with the matter. Sorry The former mayoral candidate is sorry for the situation. – I must regret that the party and the entire politics in Vestre Toten have been seen in this situation. It hurts, says Sangnes to news. – I feel I have done everything I can to lay low, apologize and apologize. It is not me as a person to use such strong words as I did in the message exchange. It was a reaction to frustration on my part. THE WRECK: Kjetil Sangnes was a mayoral candidate for H\u00f8gre i Vestre Toten. Now the party has rejected him as a mayoral candidate, but he has not been excluded from the party. Photo: Roar Berntsen \/ news A week ago he learned that the board of the local team had mistrusted him.
