Following the 2022 parliamentary election, Centerpartiet has seen a dramatic fall in voter support, with recent polls showing the party at a record low of 3.3%, below the voting threshold.

This decline has sparked widespread dissatisfaction within the party, with many blaming the lack of strategy and clear future vision under the leadership of Muharrem Demirok, who took over in February 2023. Amidst this turmoil, the upcoming EU parliamentary election is deemed crucial for Demirok's future, with insiders suggesting that a poor performance could lead to discussions about his resignation.

The spotlight is also on Emma Wiesner, the party's lead candidate for the EU election, who is relatively unknown to voters, further complicating the party's campaign efforts.
