Labor Loses in Norway's Election

Solberg casts her ballot

Norwegians hit the polls on Monday and knocked the Labor party from running things.

As a party, Labor still holds the most seats.

However, Labor's coalition only managed to maintain seventy-one of the one hundred and sixty-nine seats.

The opposition is expected to form a coalition behind Erna Solberg, which would make her the first conservative prime minister since 1990.

Jens Stoltenberg had maintained the spot for the last eight years, as the Labor party ruled the government.

Solberg's Conservative party ran on lowering taxes and loosening government control, both of which are popular amongst the people.

The Conservative party saw the most gain in seats, while all of the parties in Labor's coalition lost seats.
