Sayed Nominated for Top KrF Spot

Published: 2024-09-19

In a significant political development in Rogaland, Norway, Jonas Andersen Sayed has been proposed by the Rogaland KrF nomination committee for the top spot on the party's parliamentary list for the upcoming election.

This nomination follows the decision of Olaug Bollestad to step down from politics, leaving her position open.

Sayed, a former mayor of Sokndal, has expressed his motivation to take on this role, emphasizing his belief in the continued relevance of KrF in Norwegian politics.

Despite initially declining a high position on the list, Sayed reconsidered after receiving encouragement from supporters.

Meanwhile, KrFU leader Hadle Bjuland, who was initially considered a strong contender, has declined the second spot on the list, maintaining his candidacy for the first position if the party desires.

The final decision will be made at the nomination meeting on November 5th.
