TRONDHEIM / OSLO (Dagbladet): For the first time since 1924, the Labor Party is not the largest party in the country. In this year’s municipal elections, the party has moved into opposition in several of the largest cities.

Of all the largest cities, Høyre is now the largest city – except for Stavanger.

This party is still controlled by the majority of the bourgeoisie in this oil city.

On Tuesday evening, there was a shock in the elections in Trondheim, when the MDG announced that it would launch a joint investigation of the Conservative and Labor parties. Therefore, it is not certain who will rule the city for the next four years.

Tough negotiations are expected to occur in several cities.

These are the cities

• Oslo: Høyre, KrF, Venstre and Frp have the majority. The Blues have received 31 of 59 mandates in the city council.
• Bergen: On Tuesday morning, Bergen city council leader Rune Bakervik (Ap) told NRK that the city council would resign. Therefore, Christine Meyer (H) will most likely take over the role of city council chair. It was the Conservative Party and the FRP that produced the best municipal elections in Bergen. The bourgeois parties did not gain a majority along with the KrF and Venstre.
• Trondheim: Ap, SV and Sp could continue to maintain power if Rødt and MDG were part of the collaboration. The Conservative Party is the largest party, but the AP has more mandates.
• Stavanger: Ap became the largest party, but the bourgeoisie had a majority in the oil city. This suggests that Sissel Knutsen Hegdal (H) will become mayor.

Admitting Defeat

Oslo city council member Raymond Johansen admits election defeat.

– The first thing to do is congratulate the opposition. That’s democracy. It is very demanding to win three times in a row. It’s been a tough election campaign, Raymond Johansen told Dagbladet.

– We have done our part, he said.

He wouldn’t say whether he was done with politics, but he will rule Oslo until October 25.

– The opposition gets the opportunity to form a city council. “It’s going to be interesting,” he said.

– That’s democracy. It was beautiful, but non-stop, Johansen told Dagbladet outside NRK in Marienlyst.

Oslo

Election results in Oslo show that the Conservative Party, KrF, Venstre and Frp control the majority.

Therefore, the Labor Party has made its worst choice since the Second World War.

Heading towards the city dings

There had long been optimism about the Labor Party elections in Oslo, but after the final votes were counted, it was clear that it was the bourgeoisie who had won the most mandates.

The Red-Green Party, including Red, has 27 mandates. On a city council, 30 people are needed to get a majority. If, for example, the Left chooses to switch sides, then the red-green groups have the majority. Of course Red must also be taken into account, writes NTB.

From the previous city and district elections in 2019, Ap had withdrawn by 1.5 percentage points in Oslo.

Election crisis: – May have consequences

Bergen

At 02.15 the votes for Norway’s second largest city were counted. The figures show that the tensions are not over. Neither the right nor the left gained a majority.

This means that Rune Bakervik (Ap) city council may be coming to an end.

There are now more negotiations to find out who will rule Bergen for the next four years.

It turns out that Bybanen will also be a central issue in the negotiations.

Death delays the count

Stavanger

The results from the oil city showed a slim majority on the side of the bourgeoisie.

If Høyre, Frp, KrF and Venstre merge with the Pensioners Party, the parties would have 34 mandates, and thus a majority in the Stavanger city council.

The red-green side has no chance of gaining a majority in the city council.

As a result, Stavanger Mayor Kari Nessa Nordtun (Ap) will most likely have to resign. This is despite the fact that Ap has made good choices in the municipality.

The Liberal Party received 32.2 percent of the vote, and received only 22 mandates.

This took the car to the Storting

Trondheim

Dagbladet learned tonight that the MDG in Trondheim will meet with the Conservative Party and the Labor Party to investigate which party will have the greatest impact on them.

It is therefore open whether Ap or Høyre will rule Trondheim for the next four years. Based on what Dagbladet has learned, the aim of the MDG is to prevent Frp and Polri from gaining influence.

It had been established all night that Labor would win Trondheim. However, if MDG switches sides, the Conservative Party and Kent Ranum could rule the city.
