How the members voted is secret, as a closed personal election was held where S won the municipal council post with 16 votes against 10 for M.
Center party member Mikael Lind tells SVT that they voted as intended – for the Moderates’ candidate, Ingmar Olsson.
This speaks volumes for the SD’s members voting against a change of power, to Social Democrat Eva-Lotta Härdig Eriksson.
– We don’t have a party whip, says Juhani Verkkoperä (SD), who also doesn’t want to say which candidate he voted for.
Thus, there does not seem to be a clear majority in the council for the coming term.
