Raymond Johansen tasked with forming new city council in Oslo

Mayor Marianne Borgen (SV) has given Labor Party’s (AP) Raymond Johansen the task of forming a new city council in Oslo.

Johansen has previously announced that his goal is a new council that, like the previous one, consists of the Labor Party, the Socialist Left Party (SV), and the Green Party (MDG).

The previous City Council resigned on Wednesday last week as a result of the no-confidence motion in Oslo City Council against MDG’s Lan Marie Berg. 

Earlier Monday, it became known that the Conservatives have given up plans to try and form a city council.
