Sebastian Ytrevik elected as new leader of Norway's Progress Party Youth
Sebastian Ytrevik, 23, was chosen to head Fremskrittspartiets Ungdom at its extraordinary national meeting, succeeding Lars Barstad Løvold.
The youth wing of Norway's Progress Party held an extraordinary national congress on Saturday afternoon, where 23-year-old Sebastian Ytrevik was elected leader. Ytrevik said he had not expected to continue in the organization but will now focus on rebuilding its culture and taking responsibility. He replaces Lars Barstad Løvold, who stepped down in August after a whistle-blower case involving alleged unwanted sexual attention and alcohol provision to a minor member. Løvold denies the accusations.
Why it matters
