During the municipal council, SD presented a proposal that S should get the post of chairman of the municipal board and that M should get the deputy post. But neither the right nor the left agreed to that proposal.
When the full council was instead to take a position on the original proposals where it was between Annalena Järnberg (S) and Cecilia Albertsson (M), SD withheld their votes, which meant that a draw had to be made. The lot fell on Annalena Järnberg (S).
– We thought that we made a proposal that was reasonable based on the election results. Our ambition was to have broad political communication in the municipal board, for the good of the municipality, says Fredrik Dahlberg (SD), group leader.
Fredrik Dahlberg has previously told SVT that “we cannot let it go to a lottery, but we have to take a stand” and now he is criticized by the Moderates’ candidate, Cecilia Albertsson, for being responsible for the lottery being decided.
