Key Points
  • Jeanette Andersson elected as new top regional candidate for Centre Party in Västernorrland
  • Three local circles boycotted the selection meeting over the Sollefteå hospital issue
  • New regional list consists mostly of politicians from Sollefteå or Kramfors, not all circles represented

Jeanette Andersson from Sollefteå is the new number one on the Centre Party's regional list, according to party officials. She has worked with growth in Sollefteå municipality in recent years, though the specific projects she handled have not been detailed. Andersson is described as a typical returnee who spent 15 years elsewhere but has now found her way home.

The old regional list is now just a memory, replaced by one consisting mostly of Centre Party politicians from either Sollefteå or Kramfors, but the exact number of politicians and their identities remain unclear. Not all circles are represented on this new list, officials confirmed. The Centre Party held its district meeting in Ramsele over the weekend, but circles in Ånge, Sundsvall, and Timrå boycotted the event.

The hospital issue in Sollefteå caused these three circles to choose to skip the meeting, though the precise reasons for Sundsvall and Timrå's boycott are not specified. In Ånge, it is described as meaningless to participate because the Centre Party's regional issues mainly revolve around saving the hospital, but details of this issue have not been disclosed. The impact of the boycott on the party's regional representation and policies is still uncertain.
