Electorate
Historical the Capital Region (H.R.) and the Ommeland Region (O.R.) were Pava-strongholds until 2004. After 2004 a lot of the Pava-voters in the Capital Region and the Ommeland Region shifted to the greens (Aseg), and the regions became Green-strongholds. In the other regions, the party remained stable and barely lost voters to the Greens. The rural regions R4 (45.2%), R6 (51.3%) and R7 (43.2%) are Pava-strongholds.
