At the end of the convention Wetterstad stated in an interview that withdrawing his party membership was out of question, but he left the party two weeks after the convention,〔 and continued the rest of the term as an independent.〔 He joined the Free Democrats. From 1997 to 1999 he worked as an information advisor.〔 He then became the secretary-general of the Norwegian Motorsport Federation. He won election to Nedre Eiker municipal council in 1995 for the local list ''Nedre Eiker frie kommuneliste'', and served until 1997.
