The nomination committee of the Venstre party in Norway has officially proposed Ingvild Wetrhus Thorsvik as the new deputy leader of the party. This follows the resignation of the previous deputy leader, Sveinung Rotevatn, who stepped down before Christmas 2022. Thorsvik’s nomination signals a continuity in the party's leadership as they prepare for an extraordinary national meeting to finalize the decision.

The extraordinary national meeting is scheduled to take place on March 18, where party members will elect the new deputy leader. This meeting is crucial for Venstre as it aims to solidify its leadership structure and direction, especially in light of recent political challenges and changes. Thorsvik’s endorsement reflects the committee's confidence in her ability to support the party’s goals and initiatives going forward.

Ingvild Wetrhus Thorsvik, assuming the role, will be expected to play a significant part in shaping Venstre's political strategy and engaging with its members. Her leadership could have implications not just for the party’s future direction but also for its influence within the broader political landscape in Norway, especially as elections approach.
