OSLO, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — Norway's ruling Labor Party retained its status as the largest party in the Storting, preliminary results from Monday's parliamentary elections showed.
According to preliminary vote counts, the Labour Party is projected to win 53 seats in the 169-seat parliament. The right-wing Progress Party has significantly strengthened its position, winning 48 seats, and the Conservative Party 24 seats.
No party managed to gain an absolute majority, indicating the need for negotiations between the political parties on mechanisms for cooperation. If the current balance holds, it is expected that the current Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre will remain in office.
According to Statistics Norway, more than 4.05 million citizens are eligible to vote this year, a record number.
Norway holds parliamentary elections every four years. Following the 2021 elections, the Labour Party returned to power and formed a coalition government. However, the Centre Party left the coalition earlier this year over disagreements over the European Union's energy policy. –0–
