Nyamko Sabuni (left) is criticized by party colleagues after the debate

After Sunday night’s party leader debate on SVT, viewers delivered a clear message: Nyamko Sabuni was the party leader who did the worst.

It showed a measurement made by Sifo / Expressen. It received an average rating of 2.31 while the leader of the Left Party, Jonas Sjöstedt, the winner, received 3.54.

Nyamko Sabuni hopes to improve, but his colleagues are cutting him off

– It’s sad, but I’m the newest of all, so maybe it’s not that strange, said Nyamko Sabuni, who has been the leader of the Liberals since June 2019.

– I feel that every time I improve a little. I hope to be much, much better in a few years, she says.

During the debate, the Liberals’ Twitter account posted posts supporting Sabuni.

But now she is being rejected by her own party mates. However, it seems to be the old nomination conflict that has flared up again. Criticisms of Sabuni come from the districts, Uppsala and Stockholm, which supported Erik Ullenhag’s party leadership candidacy.

– She’s not that new. Now she has been the leader of the party for just over a year and before that she was a minister. She has taken time to bundle up in her clothes, Malin Sjöberg Högrell tells SVT.

Anna-Lena Johansson, Stockholm County President, also criticizes Nyamko Sabuni’s effort; however, he did not see the entire debate, according to SVT.

Stockholm President: “She can train more on that”

– These are short records, you have to learn to stick to the theme and she can practice more on that. It’s important to get the message out in a short and concise way, otherwise it might not work, Anna-Lena Johansson tells SVT Nyheter.

However, he adds that he believes Sabuni did well at the time of the duel against the leader of the Christian Democracy party, Ebba Busch.

The Union of Young Liberals, LUF, which also supported Erik Ullenhag, joins the critical crowd.

– People are quite disappointed. One of Sabuni’s arguments was that she is a good communicator and clear with what liberals think. We probably do not think that yesterday was a good example of this, on the contrary, he performed below the level that can be demanded of a party leader for a party that is in the situation in which we find ourselves, says Romina Pourmokhtar, president from the LUF, to SVT.
