OSLO (Reuters) -Norway's Labour Party Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere will on Monday announce a reshuffle of the cabinet, his office said in a brief statement following days of media reports that changes to the government were imminent.

The announcement comes five weeks after municipal and regional elections in which Labour placed second behind the Conservatives, the first time since 1924 that the leftwing group failed to finish first in any nationwide vote.
