After Monday's announcement that Pehrson is leaving as party leader for The Liberals, there has been speculation about why. In an interview with SVT, he says that it primarily concerns his desire to "do something else", but also admits that there has been anxiety within the party over the low opinion poll numbers during his tenure.
We have a serious situation and one should know that if the difficult situation continues, the question about the person leading the party will always grow, said Johan Pehrson to SVT.
