Historic change of power in Norberg after the election

The Democrats in Norberg (DiN) is the largest of the four, followed by M and then L and SD in shared third place. Together, the parties have a majority of one mandate.

Among the three parties (SD did not participate) that were included in SVT's election compass, the answers are partially consistent. However, DiN stands out by instead agreeing with the opposition on several issues, but nevertheless chose not to take the hand that S extended to them after the election.

- We will not agree on all issues, but that is precisely a strength. Our common ambition is to elevate Norberg, says Lennart Skansfors.

20 years of S rule broken

This means that the city council's largest party, the Social Democrats, is in opposition for the first time in 20 years. Since 2006, the party has held the KSO post and governed the municipality in alternating majority and minority rule.

New conditions in the council

In addition to the new board, it is in many ways a new political game plan in the municipality after this year's elections. The number of members in the council has been reduced from 31 to 21, which is the minimum allowed number according to the Municipal Act.

In addition, parties have been added - and disappeared. The party for Norberg's future, PNF, did not stand in the election, while SD and MP added two and one mandate respectively.
