Didier Oosterom appointed as scout for the formation of Koggenland Municipal Council
Didier Oosterom will take up a position as a scout for the formation of a new municipal council in Koggenland. As the largest party within our municipality, VVD Koggenland is taking the lead in this first formal step towards forming the new executive board.
Remco Linnekamp, VVD faction leader, explains the choice for Didier Oosterom, who currently serves as interim municipal secretary for the Municipality of West Maas and Waal and previously held the position of Cabinet Chief for the Province of Gelderland: ‘Our wish was to appoint a scout who seeks connections in agreements rather than someone who highlights the differences between parties.’
Open, transparent and thorough
Linnekamp continues: ‘Additionally, as VVD Koggenland, we place great value on the scout’s work being conducted through an open, transparent, and thorough process. We are confident that the party-independent Didier Oosterom will meticulously meet these conditions. This will ultimately benefit our municipality, our residents, and our entrepreneurs over the next four years.’
Priorities, collaborations and willingness
In the coming period, Didier Oosterom will begin discussions with all factions represented in the municipal council. The aim of these consultations is to gain insight into the key substantive priorities, potential directions for collaboration, and the mutual willingness to form a stable coalition.
