The so-called forest counties - Västerbotten, Dalarna, Gävleborg, Västernorrland, Jämtland and Norrbotten - are among the last party districts to confirm their nomination for a new party leader in the Social Democrats.

Of the districts that have published their nominations, all support Magdalena Andersson - and the forest counties make no exception.

In Västerbotten, all 15 workers' municipalities want to see Magdalena Andersson as party leader.

- For my own part, I was actually surprised that Magdalena Andersson had such genuine support.

All workers' municipalities in Västerbotten have nominated her as their first name.

Since then, some have nominated some others in case Magdalena would not want to, but as we see it now, it is a genuine popular movement support from Västerbotten, says Isak From (S).

Have you been in contact with Magdalena Andersson to hear how she reacts to the nomination?

- We can say that there have been some contacts.

I can not say more right now.

Had member dialogue

You are among the last to go out with a nomination for the party presidency, why?

- We have wanted to have a proper member dialogue where the workers' municipalities and associations have been able to participate and comment.

We also think it is important for the future party chairman to feel that "I am chairman of a party where the whole party has elected me", says Isak From.
