Timeline

1925

Her father, Asbjørn Solberg (1925–1989), worked as a consultant in the Bergen Sporvei, and her mother, Inger Wenche Torgersen (1926–2016), was an office worker.

Her parents are both executives.

Solberg has two sisters, one older, one younger.

Solberg had some struggles at school, and at the age of 16 was diagnosed with dyslexia.

She was nevertheless an active and talkative contributor in class.

1961

Erna Solberg (born 24 February 1961) is a Norwegian politician and the current Leader of the Opposition.

Solberg was born 24 February 1961 in Bergen in western Norway and grew up in the affluent Kalfaret neighbourhood.

1979

In her final year as a high-school student in 1979, she was elected to the board of the School Student Union of Norway, and in the same year led the national charity event Operasjon Dagsverk, in which students collected money for Jamaica.

Solberg was a deputy member of Bergen city council in the periods 1979–1983 and 1987–1989, the last period on the executive committee.

She chaired local and municipal chapters of the Young Conservatives and the Conservative Party.

1986

In 1986, she graduated with her cand.mag. degree in sociology, political science, statistics and economics from the University of Bergen.

In her final year, she led the Students' League of the Conservative Party in Bergen.

1989

Solberg was first elected to the Storting in 1989, and served as Minister of Local Government and Regional Development in Bondevik's Second Cabinet from 2001 to 2005.

During her tenure, she oversaw the tightening of immigration policy and the preparation of a proposed reform of the administrative divisions of Norway.

She was first elected to the Storting (Norwegian Parliament) from Hordaland in 1989 and has been re-elected five times.

1994

She was also the leader of the national Conservative Women's Association, from 1994 to 1998.

1996

Since 1996 she has been married to Sindre Finnes, a businessman and former Conservative Party politician, with whom she has two children.

The family has lived in both Bergen and Oslo.

2001

From 2001 to 2005 Solberg served as the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development under Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik.

Her alleged tough policies in this department, including a firm stance on asylum policy, earned her the nickname "Jern-Erna" (Norwegian for "Iron Erna") in the media.

In fact, numbers show that the Bondevik government, of 2001–2005, actually let in thousands more asylum seekers than the subsequent centre-left Red-Green government, of 2005–2009.

2002

She served as deputy leader of the Conservative Party from 2002 to 2004 and, in 2004, she became the party leader.

2003

In 2003, Solberg proposed introducing Islamic Sharia Councils in Norway after being informed of the existence of such councils in the United Kingdom, and, in 2004, said that she wished to increase immigration to Norway.

As Minister, Solberg instructed the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration to expel Mulla Krekar, being a danger to national security.

2005

After the 2005 election, she chaired the Conservative Party parliamentary group until 2013.

Solberg has emphasized the social and ideological basis of Conservative policies, though the party also has become visibly more pragmatic.

2009

After losing the 2009 elections, the party realised that a mere promise of tax cuts and a smaller role for the state would not convince voters.

2010

Later, terrorism charges were filed against Krekar for a death threat he uttered in 2010 against Erna Solberg.

She had Mordechai Vanunu denied political asylum so as not to damage relations with Israel.

2013

She served as the 35th prime minister of Norway from 2013 to 2021, and has been Leader of the Conservative Party since May 2004.

After winning the September 2013 election, Solberg became prime minister of Norway, the second woman to hold the position, after Gro Harlem Brundtland.

Solberg's Cabinet, often informally called the "Blue-Blue Cabinet", was initially a two-party minority government consisting of the Conservative and Progress parties.

The cabinet established a formalized cooperation with the Liberal and Christian Democratic parties in the Storting.

2017

The government was reelected in the 2017 election and was extended to include the Liberal Party in January 2018.

This extended minority coalition is informally called the "Blue-Green cabinet".

2018

In May 2018, Solberg surpassed Kåre Willoch to become the longest-serving prime minister of Norway from the Conservative Party.

2019

The government was further extended in January 2019 to include the Christian Democratic Party, and thereby secured a majority in Parliament.

On 13 September 2021, following the parliamentary election which overturned her government's majority in the Storting, she conceded defeat, leaving it to the Labour Party's Jonas Gahr Støre to form a new government.

On 12 October 2021, Solberg and her government tendered their resignations to King Harald V, clearing the way for Støre to form a new government, which was finalised two days later.

She then returned to being the Leader of the Opposition.
