Per-Samuel Nisser (M) has been chairman of the municipal board in Karlstad since the 2010 election. A period that extends three terms, almost 12 years, which is the longest time anyone has been chairman of the municipal board in Karlstad municipality, in modern times.

- It has been a fantastic time where Karlstad has developed enormously.

The municipality's economy is at the top in the country and we have had a large population growth, record increase in new housing, and brought here more businesses and establishments that have created jobs, says Per-Samuel Nisser (M).

Prior to his assignment as chairman of the municipal board, Nisser worked as a member of parliament and with agriculture and forestry.

- It is the right time to hand over to someone else to take the political leadership role, a new voice simply.

I will continue my community involvement both in politics and possibly in other activities, but not in the role of chairman of the municipal board.

That journey ends this autumn, says Per-Samuel Nisser (M).
