Kjell Magne Bondevik


 

Kjell Magne Bondevik (born September 3, 1947) is a Norwegian Lutheran minister and politician, and the current Prime Minister of Norway. His present cabinet, a coalition between the Christian Democratic Party, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, was appointed October 19, 2001, succeeding Jens Stoltenberg. He also served in this position from October 17, 1997 to March 3, 2000, in a coalition consisting of the Christian Democratic Party, the Centre Party and the Liberal Party. However, Bondevik was defeated in the 2005 parliamentary election, with 81 seats obtained for Bondevik's coalition and its supporters to the opposition Red-Green Coalition's 88. Bondevik has admitted defeat; he will act as caretaker until the new Cabinet, most likely with Stoltenberg as prime minister, is formed.
