"The first projection gives the five 'red-green' parties -- Stre's Labour, the Centre Party, the Greens, the Socialist Left and the Red party -- 87 seats compared to 82 seats to the opposing right-leaning parties. The three latter parties are currently projected to gain the threshold 4 percent vote share needed to enter parliament, a crucial element in providing the left 'bloc' with an overall win."
"On the right, the populist Progress Party led by Sylvi Listhaug is projected to make huge gains of 13 percent from its 2021 voted share while the Conservatives, led by former PM Erna Solberg, are forecast to fall back by 6 percent. The result was projected by the Norwegian Directorate of Elections at 9pm on Monday evening, just as polling stations closed across the country."
An initial projection gave the five red-green parties — Labour, the Centre Party, the Greens, the Socialist Left and the Red Party — 87 seats versus 82 for right-leaning parties, a five-seat margin. The three smaller parties are projected to clear the 4 percent threshold to enter parliament, enabling the left bloc's overall majority and keeping Jonas Gahr Støre in office. The populist Progress Party led by Sylvi Listhaug is projected to gain about 13 percentage points since 2021, while the Conservatives under Erna Solberg are forecast to fall roughly 6 points. The projection was produced by the Norwegian Directorate of Elections using advance votes and will be updated as district counts are reported.
