He held the post as Minister of Children and Equality in Jens Stoltenberg's second government from October 2009 to March 2012,[1] when he resigned due to a conflict of interest.[2] Under his leadership, the Socialist Left Party had strong gains in its vote share in Parliamentary elections and membership.[3][4]
