Just a few weeks ago, the opposition council in Sölvesborg, Johanna Beijer (S), announced that she was leaving her post.

Now Sölvesborg gets rid of another top name.

Markus Alexandersson leaves, after almost three years, the assignment as Chairman of the Workers' Municipality.

It writes Sydöstran.

- I have been thinking carefully about this for a long time and feel that it is the right time to hand over to someone else to lead the election campaign.

Everything has its time.

I will not stand for any position of trust, neither locally nor in the region, says Markus Alexandersson to the newspaper.

In addition to the Workers' Municipality's chairman in Sölvesborg, Alexandersson also has regional assignments, as second vice chairman of the health and medical care committee.

- I do not feel the same joy and am not passionate about politics as before, he says.

The process of trying to find a successor begins now.
