Norway's Labour Party (Arbeiderpartiet) has seen a dramatic rise in popularity following the return of Jens Stoltenberg to politics as the new finance minister.

A recent Norstat poll shows the party surging by 8.5 percentage points to 28.7%, doubling its support since December.

This marks a historic shift, with Labour reclaiming its position as the largest party in Norway.

The poll also indicates a red-green majority in parliament, with 88 seats secured.

Meanwhile, the Conservative Party (Høyre) has suffered its worst result in 16 years, dropping to 16.2%.

Political analysts are calling this a game-changing moment, though the long-term stability of Labour's resurgence remains to be seen.
