There was no drama during the elections at the national meeting of the Liberal Party in Gardermoen. Therefore, Guri Melby has now been elected as the new party leader. Sveinung Rotevatn has been elected as the first vice president and Abid Raja as the new second vice president.

– I am completely moved. It’s a magical moment and I’m sorry I didn’t get a single hug, said Melby clearly marked.

Melby says she has had doubts about whether she should run as a leader due to time use and that she is a mother of young children, but:

– What I have landed on is that it is precisely for my children what I do here, said Melby and added:

– When I said yes, it doesn’t just compromise me. It also forces you. Do you agree with that?

– Rar process

– It has been a strange process for all those who have been involved in it. Along the way, I have spoken to many and am happy for the support I have received, Melby continued.

Per A. Thorbjørnsen has chaired the nominating committee, which could proudly present a unanimous recommendation, but made no secret of the fact that it has been difficult.

– This is the most difficult task, the most challenging that I have undertaken in my 40 years in the Liberal Party. I did my best, said Thorbjørnsen.

– Do not let us down

He also made a clear appeal to all three.

– Do not let us down!

Earlier Saturday, Trine Skei Grande gave her farewell speech, where she opposed an internal power struggle in the party.

– We will accept demanding debates, but we will never be offended in the fight. We will fight each other in a factual discussion, but we will never take down. We must always put the team first and win discussions with arguments, not power struggles and conspiracies, said Skei Grande.

After the speeches, he explained what he was referring to.

– I wanted to say that we have had leaks and stupid incidents, that as a leader I must also assume medium responsibility for that I have not managed to turn the culture around. So it was to give the new management a “kick” and some good advice to keep them working, Skei Grande told TV 2.

The case is being updated
