The Støre Cabinet is the incumbent government of the Kingdom of Norway, headed by Labour Party leader Jonas Gahr Støre as Prime Minister. The government was appointed by King Harald V on 14 October 2021, following the parliamentary election on 13 September, consisting of the Labour Party and the Centre Party as a minority government.[1][2]
Name[]
By convention, a Norwegian government is usually named after the Prime Minister, in this case the Støre Cabinet.
Members[]
On 14 October 2021, Jonas Gahr Støre's cabinet ministers were appointed by King Harald V. The cabinet consists of 19 ministers;[3] one fewer than the previous Solberg cabinet. It has eleven ministers from Labour and eight from Centre, reflecting the parties' numerical strength in Parliament.[4]
The cabinet consists of ten women and nine men, two of whom (Brenna and Vestre) survived the 2011 Norway attacks.[5][6] At age 28, Emilie Enger Mehl became the youngest person to serve as the minister of justice in the Norwegian government. This is also the third time, in Norwegian history, that a cabinet has a women-majority.[7][8]
