Norway: New Minister of Oil and Energy.
Sylvi Listhaug was elected first deputy in the party in 2019. She served as the minister of justice until 2017. It was, however, a very short term. It ended on March 20, which is less than 4 months from the selection. Sylvi Listhaug herself resigned as minister of justice.
