The local branch of the Socialist Left Party (SV) in Tjeldsund has raised a vote of no confidence against the party leadership, primarily focusing on their leader Kirsti Bergstø. This proposal will be discussed at the Troms SV county meeting happening this weekend. Odd-Are Hansen, local party leader and deputy mayor, expressed frustration over the leadership's performance during the election campaign and claimed that many local members have lost motivation and have even left the party.

Hansen emphasized the need for transparency and the importance of addressing the dissatisfaction openly. He mentioned that the frustrations have built up over time, leading members to seek a way to express their grievances, culminating in this extraordinary vote of no confidence proposal. The lack of engagement and secrecy within the party has been a significant contributor to the discontent among local members.

The decision to discuss this proposal at the meeting highlights significant internal challenges within the party, which could have implications for its future direction and leadership dynamics if the vote goes through. The party leadership has yet to respond to the situation ahead of the proposal's discussion, leaving the outcome uncertain for now.
