Close Race between Red-Greens and Bourgeois Parties for Majority in Oslo City Council

Aug 16 2023 14:51 – Updated 16 Aug. 2023 14:51

Under 100 votes will determine whether there will be a majority for the red-green side or a new bourgeois city council in Oslo, a new survey shows.

On the new measurement Respons Analyze has created for VG the score is 30–29 in favor of the red-greens.

SV gets the last mandate in the survey. But if the party gets around 80 fewer votes, the Conservative Party runs away with this mandate, and then it becomes a bourgeois majority in Oslo.

– This shows that there is a dead end in Oslo. If people want the positive development in Oslo to continue, they must vote Oslo Labor Party, says city council leader Raymond Johansen (Ap) to VG.

With its 32.6 per cent, the Conservative Party is almost twice as big as the Labor Party (16.6 per cent) in the survey, despite the fact that they have fallen the most of all the parties since the June poll. With a fall of 0.5 percentage points from the previous survey, Ap, for its part, does the worst survey Respons Analyze has produced for VG for Oslo.

Today’s city council is also dependent on SP’s one mandate to get a majority.

Morten Georg Edvardsen, the SP’s first candidate in Oslo, says that they will talk to everyone if they come to a decision, and that they have no ties to either the Liberal Party or the Conservative Party.

The parties’ support in the survey (change from June in brackets):

Right 32.6 (-3.4), Ap 16.6 (-0.5), SV 14.2 (-0.5), V 10.6 (+2.7), MDG 9.5 (+ 0.8), R 6.3 (-0.4), Frp 5.4 (+1.8), Sp 1.6 (-0.1), KrF 1.5 (-0.3)

The survey was conducted among 801 respondents between 10 and 15 August. The margin of error is between 2 and 3.5 percentage points.
