Norway Elections Results: Prime Minister's Party Takes the Lead

In a historic turn of events, the Norwegian parliament, Stortinget, has seen a significant shift as the Social Democratic Labour Party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, emerged as the strongest party in the recent parliamentary election.

The red-green bloc, an alliance consisting of the Labour Party (Ap), the Socialist Left Party, the Centre Party, and the Green Party, has secured a narrow majority in the parliament. All parties of the red-green bloc have expressed their support for a government led by Støre during the campaign.

With around four million people eligible to vote, the Social Democrats received 28% of the votes, while the right-wing populist Progress Party came in second with 24.8% of the votes.

The electoral commission announced the initial vote results, marking the end of a four-year tenure for Støre. The red-green bloc's victory is significant as it signals a move towards more progressive policies in Norway.
