The Social Democrats are the largest party in Övertorneå after a recount of votes

After election night, the Social Democrats topped the municipal election in Övertorneå. When the Wednesday votes, i.e. the foreign votes and late early votes, came in, the Center Party took over as the largest party.

But after the Norrbotten County Board reviewed the previously rejected votes, the scales tipped again. The final election results show that S becomes the largest party with 22 percent of the votes, followed by C with 21.62 percent.

The Social Democrats received nine votes in their favour. They are now seeking support to be able to form a majority and are open to cooperation in several directions.

- We will meet other politicians, listen to see if they can imagine this policy that we have proposed. A responsible economic policy. I hope we will get it together, the feeling is positive, says Hans Palo (S).

The Center Party's ruling bloc loses power. Tomas Mörtberg (C) states that the future is uncertain - and that the Sweden Democrats can become a wave master who decides.

- It will be a bit messy in Övertorneå politics, says Mörtberg (C).
