"Norway’s left-wing opposition headed by Labour Party leader Jonas Gahr Store
has had a landslide win in a general election after a campaign dominated by the
future of the country’s oil industry.
Store unseated a centre-right coalition on Monday headed by Conservative Prime
Minister Erna Solberg, which had been in power since 2013.
“We waited, we hoped, and we have worked so hard, and now we can finally say
it: We did it!,” Store, who is likely to be the next prime minister, told
cheering supporters after Solberg conceded defeat.
With 97.5 percent of the votes counted, Labour and four other centre-left
parties could swing to a combined majority of 100 seats, up from 81 currently,
the Directorate of Elections projected.
A minimum of 85 seats is required to win a majority in the 169-seat parliament.
“Norway has sent a clear signal: the election shows that the Norwegian people
want a fairer society,” said the 61-year-old millionaire who campaigned against
social inequalities."
