Johan Pehrson has been elected party leader for the Liberals at the party’s extra national meeting.
– Thank you for your heroic efforts, says Johan Pehrson after being unanimously elected to resounding applause.
In April, Johan Pehrson, who was then deputy party leader, had to take over at the top of the party when the then party leader Nyamko Sabuni quickly resigned. He has been acting party leader since then.
Now he is elected, without opposing candidates, for the period until the next national meeting, which will take place sometime in 2023. To resounding applause, he was unanimously elected party leader.
Johan Pehrson enters the stage and begins by thanking his party and its members:
– Thank you for the fighting spirit you showed during the election campaign. You could say we did.
– We were down for the count, but we came back, we came together.
