Dagbladet sources: - He is the favorite to become the new deputy chairman

I see that the case, it is, and of course, it's nice to be mentioned. Out of it I think it is unnatural to comment on questions about nestledervervet already before the committee is selected. I have been a member of the central executive committee for six years, and is very keen to continue with it, " says Skjæran to the Newspaper.

After the Dagbladet experience is Bjørnar Skjæran, the leader of the Nordland Ap, mainly in the track to fill the empty seat Trond Giske leaving.

Ap's landsstyre slows down in the day committee of the party. Thus starting the process towards the congress for putting together the party's sentralstyre and partiledelse.

Dagbladet know that significant forces within the party are fighting to expand the current partiledelse with a deputy to. Several want a counterweight to the deputy Hadia May. After Trond Giske went in January last year, she has been the party's only deputy.

It will be LO-boss Hans-Christian Gabrielsen as the chair of the nomination committee. He did not want to comment on nestledersituasjonen now.

Will give a quick clarification

With a background as a small farmer, self-employed and a local politician for 28 years, has Skjæran a diverse background.

He is considered not to belong to neither the Giske - or May-the faction of the party.

You know not what you will answer if you are asked to be the deputy?

This is a hypothetical question. The committee will get quick feedback from me if it has something it wants answers to, answers Skjæran.

Since the current management consists of two women - Kjersti Stenseng, and Hadia May - have a potential new deputy be a man. It is also natural that the person comes from the north, "to anchor party outside of the ring 3", as someone in the party expresses it.

- Should Ap get a deputy chairman in addition to May, Skjæran?

" I am very satisfied with the current management, but Nordland Ap believes partiledelsen should embrace as wide as possible and take into account both background, gender and geography.

So yes?

- Yes. Both I and Nordland Ap believes the party is well-led, but that we should stretch ourselves after a partiledelse that represent as wide as possible, " says Skjæran.

Støre promises a clearer Ap Skjæran or no

The biggest obstacle for Skjæran is, according to the Dagbladet know that the committee chooses to drop an additional deputy chairman. The party experiencing the progress of the measurements, and borgfreden in the party is fragile. The circle around the deputy Hadia May can be found to dislike the idea that her position in the lead challenged by a new deputy chairman.

the Newspaper reported yesterday that the Giske-friend Tore O. Sandvik goes into the central executive committee of the party. Trond Giske says Sandvik, who is friend of him, is a good candidate for the central executive committee.

- Tore Sandvik can fill any role in the Ap. He is the most experienced mayor we have, he has a very strong position in the fylkesordførerkollegiet, he has over 30 years of experience with partiarbeid, so he is well shod for the most part. He will be a very good person to have in the central executive committee if he gets there. But trøndere have many good candidates, so this leaves I to fylkespartistyret and the nomination committee, said Giske to Dagbladet.

questions about The party should find a deputy to respond Giske:

The most important thing is the composition of the central executive committee. But this gets the nomination committee to decide.
