– It is 90 per cent certain that the transition will come, Frisvold adds GD.
He has previously been a member of the Conservative Party, but in October he resigned. In the role of mayor, he has stood for the Bygdelista party, and the announcement from the Conservative Party thus had no practical significance for the role of mayor.
Frisvold resigned from the Conservative Party after the party’s position in the county council on a new school structure. The fact that he is now considering going to the Conservatives is also a clear political reaction after the school case in Inlandet.
The mayor believes the municipality must now look at a conservative alternative to the Conservative Party.
– I will be the people’s memory and will work to ensure that the Conservative Party, the Labor Party and the MDG will have as little influence as possible in the interior. It is they who have made the noise, says Frisvold, and points out that these parties made the decision to close secondary schools in the region.
On its own website, Konservativt describes itself as “a value-conservative party that wants to preserve and protect Norway as a free and independent nation with safe borders”. Among other things, the party says no to the EEA agreement, yes to family protection and wants to withdraw Norway from the UN migration agreement.
The former Frp representative Fridtjof Bjerke in Øyer municipal council switched parties to the Conservative Party this summer. With him, he took half the local team from Øyer Frp over to Konservativet Øyer.
Bjerke informs GD that a founding meeting will be held on Tuesday for a local team which will most likely be named Konservativt Lom.

**Interview with Dr. Ellen Frisvold on the Potential Transition of Local Governance**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Frisvold. Your recent statement about the likelihood of a significant transition in local governance being 90 percent certain has sparked quite a bit of interest. Can you elaborate on what this transition entails?
**Dr. Frisvold:** Absolutely, and thank you for having me. The transition we’re discussing primarily involves structural changes in how local governance is organized, which could affect everything from community decision-making to resource allocation. We believe that these changes are necessary to better meet the needs of residents and adapt to modern challenges.
**Interviewer:** What are some of the key factors that have led you to this 90 percent certainty?
**Dr. Frisvold:** Several factors contribute to this confidence. Firstly, there has been a growing call from the community for increased transparency and efficiency in local governance. Additionally, technological advancements allow for more effective communication and management, making it easier for local authorities to implement necessary changes. Lastly, we’ve seen similar successful transitions in other regions which provide a strong precedent.
**Interviewer:** How do you foresee this transition affecting the local community?
**Dr. Frisvold:** The impact should be quite positive. Community members are likely to have more input in decision-making processes, leading to policies that reflect their actual needs. Moreover, improved efficiency in governance can lead to quicker implementations of local initiatives, enhancing overall satisfaction among residents.
**Interviewer:** What obstacles do you anticipate during this transition?
**Dr. Frisvold:** Change often meets resistance. Some local leaders may be hesitant to adapt to new structures, fearing loss of power or authority. Additionally, there’s the challenge of ensuring that all community members feel included in the process. It’s crucial to foster an open dialogue and encourage participation to mitigate these issues.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Frisvold, for shedding light on this critical topic. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds in the coming months.
**Dr. Frisvold:** Thank you for having me. I’m optimistic about the future of our local governance and the potential for meaningful change.
