A century-old tradition has been broken: the Labor Party is no longer Norway’s largest party in an election. When news presented its first forecasts at 9 p.m., the figure was 21.3% who were against Ap-vaka. There was cautious cheering from Arbeiderparity’s election vigil in the large hall in the Oslo congress center on Youngstorget. But when the result had sunk in, it became quite quiet. Now the Conservative Party is Norway’s largest party. The last election the Conservative Party was the country’s largest party was in the general election in 1924. Since then, the Labor Party has been the largest party in all elections. The numbers we see now are low, but at the same time we started much lower, so there has been a violent mobilization in the run-up to the election now, I have listened to hard rock A municipal and county council election is about local politics, and Oslo city council leader Raymond Johansen got a standing ovation when he entered the stage just before the election results. On the way into Ap’s election vigil, he was asked by journalists about what he has done today? – I have gone to the show. Had music in my ears and walked into Lillomarka for several hours, only on paths so that I’m absolutely sure not to meet people. – What kind of music have you been listening to? – There has been a lot of 80s hard rock so that I can think of something completely different, Johansen answers to news. – Are you prepared for defeat? – I am prepared for this to be exciting and a long night.

She has been responsible for one of the four integrity scandals in the government this spring and summer. First came the case where deputy chairperson Tonje Brenna had to stand trial because she had given a board position to a good friend, the same week there was another competency case which ended with Culture Minister Anette Trettebergstuen resigning. Just before the summer holidays, the case came which this time did not concern Ap, but the Center Party. Higher Education Minister Ola Borten Moe had bought shares in, among other things, the Kongsberg group and had to leave.
