Støre bekrefter endringer i regjeringen

Statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre warned on Friday morning that changes are coming to the government, according to a press release. The confirmation came after several media outlets reported on the reshuffling earlier in the day. It is still not officially confirmed which government officials are leaving and who will be joining. According to media reports, including NRK, Nettavisen, DN and VG, digitalization and administration minister Karianne Tung, culture and education minister Jon-Ivar Nygård, and climate and environment minister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen will be leaving the government.

The new additions to the government, as per reports, are Kamzy Gunaratnam as the minister of transportation and Torgeir Micaelsen as the minister of digitalization. Sigrun Aasland will move from the position of state council for research and higher education to climate and environment. Eileen Fugelsnes will join as a new state council and take over Aasland's role.

Tung has been digitalization and administration minister in Støre's government since October 2023. Bjelland Eriksen has also held his state council position since October 2023, while Nygård has been the minister of transportation since October 2021. The new government members will be appointed in council at 11 am, and appeared on Slottsplassen around a quarter later.
