Seems like Labour will continue its minority government but with even more fragmented support base on the left. However still need to pay attention to the small parties hovering around the electoral threshold before we can say for sure
Norway, 82% of the vote counted:

Ap-S&D: 53 (+5)
FrP~ECR: 48 (+27)

Norway’s center-left Labor Party looks likely to win the country’s parliamentary election, with the center-right Conservative Party on track for one of its weakest performances in decades.

This, incidentally, is what happens when you politicise the bureaucracy and base appointments on personal loyalty to the leader. A complete degradation of governing capacity.

For the last four years I have been warning about Schedule F in the abstract, but now we are in the specific details. In a sane administration the lawyers would tell the President this is unlawful, and bureaucrats would not co-operate. Now they have to decide how far they will go before being fired.
