Wara and Velle Lead Oslo FrP List

Published: 2024-10-13

Tor Mikkel Wara and Simen Velle have secured the top two spots on the Oslo Progress Party's (FrP) parliamentary list for the upcoming election.

Wara, a former Justice Minister, won a decisive vote against Hans Otto Watne, securing 50 votes to Watne's three.

This selection aligns with the recommendations of the party's nomination committee.

Simen Velle, currently the leader of the Progress Party's youth wing, expressed his readiness to work hard in the coming year.

The Oslo FrP aims to increase its representation, having secured only one seat in the previous election.

Aina Stenersen and Angelika Bjørnerud follow in third and fourth places on the list, respectively.
