Valentin Poposki, 16 January 2020
The merger was opposed in all three counties which were to merge both before and after the implementation - even the local government has made the reversal its main goal.
As a result, it was decided by the national parliament in 2022 that the merger be reversed. On 2024-01-01, Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold counties were re-established and their original arms were readopted; since their flags had actually been banners of arms, they were automatically readopted as well.
