Stockholm (KTN) — On Wednesday, Amalia Rollins announced that she will resign as Leader of the Socialist Party. The Socialist leader served in the position since being seated in Parliament on 19 June 2017, but will leave the position once her successor is elected. Rollins did not specify why she was resigning, but the resignation comes while her party is being viewed as unpopular due to their opposition to the Kalkara War. The election to succeed her is due to happen in late January or early February. According to party sources, the favorite to win the leadership election is deputy leader Steve Bennett, who represents Stockholm's 2nd constituency.
