He is among two candidates who have signed up to become a social democratic top candidate in the regional elections next fall.
This is stated by the chairman of the Social Democratic Party‘s regional board, Preben Dahlgaard, to Netavisen Pio.
However, the regional council has chosen to postpone the application deadline to November 1.
– It could be, now that we know much more (about the future of the regions, ed.), that there are interested politicians in the Norwegian Parliament or perhaps prominent politicians in municipalities who could now be interested. And then they must have the opportunity to do so. But otherwise we already have two competent candidates, says Preben Dahlgaard to Netavisen Pio.
In addition to Arne Boelt, Mogens Nørgaard has also signed up. He is today group chairman of the Social Democrats in Region North Jutland.
Mads Duedahl (V) has been chairman of the regional council since 2021. Before him, Ulla Astman (S) held the post for 14 years.
Done with municipal politics
It is only a few days ago that Arne Boelt announced his retirement from municipal politics.
He did this, among other things, on the basis of the process surrounding the municipality’s budget.
– I find it very difficult to be involved in what is happening right now, and therefore it is now certain that I will not stand again in the local elections next year, states Arne Boelt.
He refers to several specific things that have led him to make the decision.
The announcement also comes after the last election, where he missed out on the post of mayor.
On the basis of that defeat, he otherwise opened the possibility that he could stand again if needed. He has since rejected that.
– I can no longer vouch for the way things are going, says Arne Boelt.

Analysis: Social Democrats Make a Strong Showing in Regional Elections
As a keen observer of global politics, I’ve been following the recent developments in regional elections, particularly those involving social democratic parties. The latest news from Germany provides insight into the state of social democracy in Europe.
According to recent election results in Brandenburg, Germany, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has narrowly led the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party [1]. This victory is a significant relief for the SPD and Chancellor Olaf Scholz, as it indicates that the social democrats are still a force to be reckoned with in German politics.
The election results in Brandenburg demonstrate the SPD’s ability to hold back the far-right, but it also raises questions about the party’s reliance on Chancellor Scholz [3]. Despite the win, the SPD’s success cannot be solely attributed to Scholz’s popularity. Instead, it may be a sign of the party’s resilience and ability to adapt to changing voter sentiments.
On a related note, social democratic parties in other countries are also making headlines. In Lithuania, the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party has seen its candidates receive preferential votes in recent elections [2]. While the specific details of these elections are not provided, it’s clear that social democratic parties continue to play a significant role in European politics.
The news article that initially caught my attention, however, wasn’t about the recent election results in Germany or Lithuania. Instead, it was about two candidates vying to become the social democratic top candidate in upcoming regional elections in Denmark. The chairman of the Social Democratic Party’s regional board, Preben Dahlgaard, has confirmed that two candidates have signed up for the position [ Img src=”https://image.nordjyske.dk/users/nordjyske/images/66629710.jpg…”].
While the specific details of this story are limited, it highlights the ongoing efforts of social democratic parties to engage with voters and promote their policies. As we head into the next round of regional elections, it’s clear that social democrats will continue to play a significant role in shaping European politics.
