Two of the eight candidates are favorites with an advance tip, they are the party secretary Märta Stenevi and the minister of Gender Equality Åsa Lindhagen.
The others who want to be A new spokesperson is Riksdag members Janine Alm Ericson, Annika Hirvonen, Rebecka Le Moine, Karolina Skog, Pernilla Stålhammar and Umeå municipal politician Elin Söderberg.
