Norrbotten Party

Norrbotten Party

The Norbotten Party (Norrbottenspartiet) was a minor, regional party in Sweden. The base of the party is the most northern Swedish province, Norrbotten County, and the local and regional parties, Kiruna Party and Norrbotten Healthcare Party, respectively.

In the 2002 Swedish general elections the Kiruna and NHP parties agreed to attempt parliamentary representation in the Swedish Riksdag by running as a joint alternative, trying to reach the county's 12 % threshold for representation in the national parliament. Reaching 9,1 % this attempt failed, and the party dislodged shortly after.

Party leader was Lars Törnman who was at the time Co-Mayor (along with the Social Democrat leader) in the local municipality of Kiruna and leader of the Kiruna Party.
