Electoral authority
Social Democrats win parliamentary elections in Norway
Norway Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre probably stays in office. According to the electoral authority, its social democratic workers’ party is the strongest force in the elections.
After the election in Norway, a narrow red-green majority are emerging in parliament. The Social Democratic Workers’ Party (AP) of the incumbent Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre became the strongest strength. Støre thus has a chance of a second four -year term.
According to the electoral authority, Støre’s Social Democrats initially received 28.1 percent of the vote, the right -wing populist progress party was therefore the second strongest force with 24.5 percent, as the Norwegian electoral said. The conservatives (Høyre) of the former Prime Minister Erna Solberg came in third with 14.4 percent.
According to the Norwegian electoral authority, the parties of the red-green block initially came together to 88 mandates in parliament. At 169 seats in the Norwegian storting agent, that would be a narrow majority. They all expressed their support for a government led by the Social Democrat Støre in the election campaign.
Minority governments common in Norway
Støre has been head of a minority government since 2021. This form of government is not unusual in Norway. To be able to rule, a party or coalition in Norway does not need a parliamentary majority. Only no majority in parliament can vote against them.
The composition of the Norwegian parliament is important for whole Europe. NATO-Land Norway is not a member of the EU, but is closely linked to it as a state of the European Economic Area (EEA). In addition, the Scandinavian country has been one of the most important energy suppliers in Europe since the Ukraine War.
End of the election only at night
Petroleum and natural gas production are the most important sources of intake in the wealthy country in the north- and at the same time its largest climate offices. Three of the parties from the red-green spectrum, on the support of which a possible Støre government could be dependent on parliament, new oil and gas bores, unlike Støres AP, do not want to allow, for example.
Around four million Norwegians were called for election. The preliminary end result of the election is expected during the night.
