Aina Stenersen received the highest number of votes at the Oslo FPR nomination meeting, thus raising the list ahead of next year's election.
"I am very grateful and very humble. It is wonderfully nice to gain the confidence of the party to get first place, "says Stenersen to NTB.
There was a slight choice at Thon Conference in the middle of Oslo Monday night, because there were three candidates for first place.
The first round of votes ended with Stenersen (35) and opponent Tone Irén Liljeroth (43) receiving 30 votes each. The third top candidate, Camilla Wilhelmsen (59), received 22 votes.
Other constituencies ended with 48 votes to Stenersen, against 34 to Liljeroth, when all 82 votes were spoken.
"I'm proud that we have so many skilled women," says Stenersen.
Wilhelmsen was eventually elected second candidate on nomination list. Third candidate becomes Tommy Skjervold.
