AlQa'dah 3, 1434, Sep 9, 2013, SPA -- Norway's ruling red-green coalition will lose its parliamentary majority, according to projections based on partial results, issued just after polling stations closed Monday, and quoted by dpa. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's Labour Party and its two junior partners were set to get 76 seats, compared to the 86 they had in the outgoing 169-seat legislature. The opposition bloc led by Erna Solberg, leader of the Conservative Party, was projected to win 93 seats. Her potential coalition partners include the right-wing populist Progress Party, the Liberals and Christian Democrats. Statistics Norway's projection was based on about 16 per cent of the vote, but did not include tallies from the capital, Oslo.
