Adresseavisen has conducted a similar survey in Trøndelag. There, two local team leaders from Namsos and Flatanger Ropstad, respectively, give their support to continue as party leader. In total, the newspaper has been in contact with ten local team leaders.
Also in Trøndelag KrF, most of them have not decided yet, while the local team leaders in Oppdal, Rindal and Ørland KrF believe the KrF leader should resign.

At 2 pm, KrF leader Kjell Ingolf Ropstad will hold his second press conference in two days after Aftenposten’s case that he had taken active steps to avoid tax on the prime minister’s residence he used.
Ropstad himself has admitted that he has made a mistake and apologized. He is also in dialogue with the Tax Administration to pay back what he owes.
