After the relationship with the region's heaviest opposition politician, Robert Thunfors from the Healthcare Party, became known, Elina Backlund Arab was urged to leave the role as chairman of the health and medical care committee in Region Västernorrland.

I am a woman who has fallen in love with a man. It has been assessed by representatives of my party that it is not compatible with my mission, says Elina Backlund Arab to Sundsvalls Tidning.

Now she has decided to leave the chairman post, she says to Expressen.

It is obvious that I need to listen when there is no confidence in me.

Peder Björk, district chairman for The Moderate Party in Västernorrland, believes that it is not possible to combine her mission with a relationship with the opposition councillor.

We and the Healthcare Party are each other's direct opposites in regional politics. It cannot under any circumstances in any context be any doubts that we fail to take the debate, that information has been spread that should not be spread, or that our representatives fail to act, due to having a relationship, says he to Expressen.

The Healthcare Party also announced on Friday that they are taking action after the love relationship became known and are temporarily suspending Robert Thunfors, reports ST.
