It was during Wednesday that Jerker Jacobson (M), who until today was chairman of the Moderate party association in Laholm, vice chairman of the municipal real estate company Laholmshem AB and Kommunfastigheter AB, requested to be dismissed from his duties with immediate effect.
The reason is the personal battles within the Moderates about who will lead the council group and, by extension, will become the chairman of the municipal board.
When SVT news Halland reaches Jerker Jacobson, he is noticeably annoyed.
- It is out of respect for my constituents that I have chosen to drop out.
They would never have elected me if I supported pranks like this that the new group leader is up to, says Jerker Jacobson, to SVT Nyheter Halland.
On the Moderates' ballot, Roland Norrman is the party's list leader.
He also received the most personal endorsements, around 200. But after the election, Norrman has been sidelined.
On Monday, the plenipotentiary group instead voted for Eric Semb as chairman.
