The Swedish Center Party faces internal strife as its youth wing (CUF) demands the resignation of party leader Muharrem Demirok. Alleging poor leadership, lack of trust, and a stifling internal culture, CUF chairperson Caroline von Seth voiced the need for new leadership. The move follows criticism over Demirok’s handling of party governance and his perceived preference for Social Democrat Magdalena Andersson as prime ministerial candidate. However, the resignation call has sparked backlash within CUF, with several district leaders claiming it wasn’t democratically discussed. As the party grapples with anonymous dissent and strained debates, Demirok has urged members to address issues internally. A crisis meeting with district leaders was convened to address the escalating tensions.
