Salman Butt – A Fresh Voice for Oulu!
Hello, my name is Salman Butt, and I am honored to stand as a candidate in the municipal elections in Oulu. I am 32 years old, an entrepreneur, and a Master’s graduate in Electronics and Communication from the University of Oulu.
I am passionate about innovation, economic growth, and building a more inclusive and sustainable Oulu. As an entrepreneur, I understand the challenges and opportunities in our city’s business environment. I believe in creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and making Oulu a hub for technology and new industries.
Beyond the economy, I am committed to high-quality public services, ensuring that education, healthcare, and transportation work effectively for everyone. Oulu must be a city where students, workers, families, and businesses can thrive—a city that listens to its people and invests in its future.
With fresh ideas and a strong work ethic, I want to bring a practical, forward-thinking approach.
