Oslo is the capital of Norway, and as such is the seat of Norway's national government. Most government offices, including that of the [[Prime Minister of Norway|Prime Minister]], are gathered at ''Regjeringskvartalet'', a cluster of buildings close to the national Parliament, the [[Parliament of Norway|Storting]].

Constituting both a municipality and a county of Norway, the city of Oslo is represented in the Storting by nineteen members of parliament. The [[Conservative Party of Norway|Conservative Party]] is the most represented party in Oslo with six members, the [[Norwegian Labour Party|Labour Party]] has five, the [[Progress Party (Norway)|Progress Party]], the [[Liberal Party of Norway|Liberals]] and the [[Socialist Left Party (Norway)|Socialist Left Party]] have two each; the [[Green Party (Norway)|Green Party]] and the [[Red Party (Norway)|Red Party]] have one each.

The combined municipality and county of Oslo has had a [[parliamentary system]] of government since 1986. The supreme authority of the city is the City Council (''Bystyret''), which has 59 seats. Representatives are popularly elected every four years. The city council has five [[standing committees]], each having its own areas of responsibility. The largest parties in the City Council after the 2015-elections are the Labour Party and the Conservatives, with 20 and 19 representatives respectively.

The [[Mayor of Oslo]] is the head of the city council and the highest ranking representative of the city. This used to be the most powerful political position in Oslo, but following the implementation of parliamentarism, the mayor has had more of a ceremonial role, similar to that of the President of the Storting at the national level. The Mayor of Oslo is [[Marianne Borgen]].

Since the local elections of 2015, the [[Local government|city government]] has been a coalition of the Labour Party, the Green Party and the Socialist Left. Based mostly on support from the Red Party, the coalition maintains a workable majority in the city council. Following the local elections of 2019, the [[Centre-left politics|centre-left]] coalition remained in government.

The [[Governing Mayor of Oslo]] is the head of the City government. The post was created with the implementation of parliamentarism in Oslo and is similar to the role of the prime minister at the national level. The governing mayor is [[Raymond Johansen]].<ref>[https://www.nrk.no/valg/2019/resultat/nb/sted/0301 "Valgresultat for Oslo kommune"] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728025648/https://www.nrk.no/valg/2019/resultat/nb/sted/0301|date=28 July 2020 }}, ''Nrk Valg'', 2019</ref>
