The stage was set for a digital thriller and a battle for the top six spots on the electoral list for the 2021 parliamentary elections when the Oslo Conservatives held their nomination meeting on Monday night. The Conservatives currently have six representatives in the Storting in Oslo.

– The big challenge this time is that there are more pieces in the game than there is room, said nominations committee leader Erling Lae in his final speech before the vote.

A minority on the committee had initially nominated Stefan Heggelund for sixth place along with Tetzschner. On Monday, however, Heggelund opened up on Facebook that he could also challenge Mudassar Kapur, the Conservative Party’s fiscal policy spokesman, for fourth place on the list.

It didn’t, so the top five places went to the committee’s nominees: Ine Eriksen Søreide, Nikolai Astrup, Heidi Nordby Lunde, Mudassar Kapur, and Mathilde Tybring-Gjedde.

Then a clear majority voted for Tetzschner, who won by 128 votes ahead of Heggelunds 93.

In seventh place, with a slim chance for a permanent seat in the Storting, came former Oslo finance minister Eirik Lae Solberg.
