Olav Akselsen is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 28, 1965 in Stord, Norway. Olav Akselsen was born in Stord as the son of the builder Arne Akselsen (born 1928) and his wife Aud Sortland (born 1932) and worked for the company as the “assistant”.

He was a graduate of the high school in 1984. He attended his exam philosophicum course on the University of Bergen in 1986 and earned the degree of bachelor from the department of geography, in 1988. With the exception of a brief stint as a carpenter from 1986 between 1986 and 1987 Akselsen is a very insignificant work experience that isn’t related to the political realm. As a result, many people have referred to him as an “broiler”, a term that refers to a person who is who is mostly a member of the political parties.

Akselsen was first elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1989, as the 14th representative from Hordaland county. He was re-elected in 1993 and 1997.

The first cabinet Stoltenberg did not survive the 2001 Norwegian parliamentary election, as a second cabinet Bondevik was formed. Akselsen, however, had entered the same election, and was re-elected for his fourth term. He was re- elected again in 2005, but despite the return of Stoltenberg as Prime Minister, Akselsen was not selected to his cabinet—although stated to possess the “potential”.

Before entering politics in the national arena, Akselsen had some experience in local political life. The executive council of his home town was appointed to him by the city council in his hometown of Stord in 1983. He was elected again in 1987, but resigned in 1989 after becoming a member of the national parliament.
