SD Members Leave to Form New Party in Lekeberg

Published: 2024-04-03

In a significant political shift within the Lekeberg municipality, three members of the Sverigedemokraterna (Sweden Democrats) have departed from the party to establish the Lekebergspartiet.

Citing a lack of support from the regional SD Örebro län for their political endeavors, former members Skyeler Palm, Fredrik Medin, and Thiffanie Holgersson announced their departure through a debate article, becoming independent politicians in the process.

This move was reportedly a shock to the SD, with internal disputes between the members and the district board being highlighted as a key issue.

The newly formed Lekebergspartiet signals a potential challenge for the SD's future influence in the region.
