Per-Kristian Foss

Per-Kristian Foss (born July 19, 1950 in Oslo) is a Norwegian politician (Conservatives), member of the Norwegian National Assembly since 1981, and former Minister of Finance 2001–2005. He's received much attention for being the first openly homosexual minister in a Norwegian government and lives in registered partnership. He also acted as Prime Minister very briefly in 2002.[link]

Though it was long expected that Foss would take over the chairmanship of Høyre (the Conservative Party) after Jan Petersen, the sudden ascendancy of Erna Solberg prevented this from happening. At present Foss is deputy chairman of Høyre and member of the party's central board.

Foss has a Cand.mag.-degree in (political science, public law and criminology) from the University of Oslo (1977) and partial graduate studies in political science.
