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]
