Kjerkol's Political Journey: A Divided Support

Published: 2024-10-14

Ingvild Kjerkol, former health minister and current leader of the Storting's energy and environment committee, faces a mixed reception in her bid for re-election.

Steinkjer Ap has nominated her as their top candidate for the upcoming parliamentary elections, valuing her extensive experience and ability to advocate for Trøndelag within the Labour Party.

However, Verdal Ap has chosen to support Bente Estil, a former mayor, instead.

This division highlights the ongoing debate within the party about whether to prioritize experience or seek renewal.

The final decision on the candidate lists will be made at the Trøndelag Ap nomination meeting on November 30.
