The nomination committee had nominated Henriksen for the first ballot spot, Tove Karoline Knutsen for the second and Ingebrigtsen for the third spot. The circumstance that the offended woman had first taken her revelation to Tonje Brenna, a party official who lives together with Henriksen, led to published speculations that the information had been deployed politically in favor of Henriksen's candidacy. Days after the story broke, a colleague of Ingebrigtsen stated that he had notified the Labour party about the affair one year before, but nothing had been done. On 4 December, yet another former youth politician came out and accused Ingebrigtsen of pressuring her into sexual relations. In response to these later accusations, the leader of the Labour party representatives in the Troms county parliament, Kristin Røymo declared Ingebrigtsen persona non grata, saying that he was "not welcome" back into the party. On 6 December Roger Ingebrigtsen resigned from all posts locally, thereby effectively ending his political career altogether.
