The Liberal Party's board in Västerbotten has moved to force out party leader Simona Mohamsson, according to reports from SVT Västerbotten. Board chairman Jens Wennberg stated that a unanimous board stands behind the decision, citing a lack of confidence in Mohamsson's leadership. The board's action stems from dissatisfaction with the process that preceded the party leadership's decision to accept the Sweden Democrats in a potential future government.
Wennberg criticized the handling of this decision, stating that such a significant move should have been preceded by a democratic process. The Västerbotten district is set to determine during Saturday's annual meeting whether it supports its party leader. An extraordinary national meeting on Sunday will vote on Mohamsson's future.

All Liberal Party ministers have reportedly indicated they will resign their positions if the party leader is forced out, potentially triggering a government crisis. Wennberg commented that he has not considered this far ahead, noting that each minister must decide whether to resign, while his focus is on addressing the local party's position in this matter.
