Dette er Støres nye statsråder

The Norwegian government has officially announced the appointment of new ministers and the reassignment of existing ministerial positions within the Labour Party-led administration. Multiple media outlets reported on Thursday that changes were imminent, and Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre confirmed on Friday morning that new ministers were on their way.

These reshuffles align with the reporting from various media sources. Gunaratnam previously served as the head of Oslo's city administration, having been a vice president from 2015 until 2021. She was subsequently elected to the Storting, where she served as the deputy in the transport and communication committee. Gunaratnam grew up in Groruddalen, Oslo.

The new minister for transport, unlike E24 reported, does not possess a driver's license. Torgeir Micaelsen has been appointed as the secretary to the finance department. He previously sat on the Storting, elected from Buskerud. Eileen Fugelsnes had previously been the secretary for the minister of research and higher education.

She hails from Bergen and held the position of deputy head for chief Raymond Johansen at Oslo from 2021 to 2023.
