Gulan Avci has been chosen as the Liberals' lead candidate on the municipal list in Stockholm. This positions her as the party's candidate for municipal commissioner in the upcoming election.
She is succeeding current opposition municipal commissioner Jan Jönsson. Jönsson announced he will not run again following the party's SD turn, referring to its political shift towards the Sweden Democrats.
In January, Avci stated she would not seek re-election to parliament after eight years as a Liberals MP. The decision signals a change in the party's local leadership ahead of the election.
