LO-Gerd is on the wish list of Parliament – Dagsavisen

Several key sources in Troms Labour as Dagsavisen’ve talked to mentions LO leader Gerd Kristiansen as a desired candidate for the nomination list in Troms county ahead of parliamentary elections in 2017.


 
 

About quite exactly one year goes Kristiansen of which LO leader, and several think that Kristiansen then should be an option to Troms-list, if not at the top, then possibly on 2nd place.


 
 

Strategy

 
 

After the Dagsavisen understand is the idea that Kristiansen can sit for a while before younger people from the new generation of Labor politicians in Troms can escape to. It is a strategy put it mildly, to be divided as to the county team.


 
 

Kristiansen will not even commented on the speculation, but her press advisor André Nerheim writing to Dagsavisen, “Gerd is clear that it is not appropriate to ask for parliamentary elections in 2017″.

– Want the best

 
 

In Troms Labor has the nomination committee’s first official meeting in late May.


 
 

None of the current members of parliament for Troms Labour Party, Martin Henriksen or Tove Karoline Knutsen, has now notified whether they want re-election, but the latter will naturally count on the buttons after sitting for three periods at Lion Hill.


 
 

– We just want the best representatives of Troms and for the party to be sent to Parliament, says committee chairman Bjorn Inge Moe Dagsavisen.


 
 

He hopes primarily on a far calmer nomination process this year than four years ago.


 
 

Ingebrigtsen case

 
 

In front of the parliamentary elections in 2013, it was not clean small riot. Top candidate Roger Ingebrigtsen resigned.


 
 

The same day he made it known that he at age 37 in 2004 initiated a sexual relationship with a then 17-year-old girl in the party.


 
 

Henriksen, who were going up to the contested vote against Ingebrigtsen, ended up on top of the list.


 
 

Sources Dagsavisen talked notes that Henriksen, injustice is still a somewhat controversial candidate in the county team, because of the noise around the process.

Do not throw

 
 

It nevertheless suggests Henriksen, is that it is difficult to see who would challenge him. No one will throw him if he even wants to run for re-election.


 
 

Henriksen has also gained the trust of Labor centrally, and has also led Aps family committee that had the task of developing new policies for the party.


 
 

Other candidates mentioned are County Councillor Cecilie Myrseth and councils Ragni Løkholm Ramberg. Willy Ørnebakk, deputy head of Troms Labor, is also pinpointed.


 
 

Several said that 31-year-old Myrseth get space if she wants. It speaks against that Myrseth ends at the top spot on the nomination list, is that she is a young local talent that party may like to keep as county executive in Troms. Myrseth may also be challenged on that she is not a pure Tromso candidate from the county team that is passionate about it.
