Knut H. Njøs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Knut Hansson Njøs (1883 – 1934) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party.

He hailed from Leikanger. After working as a police officer in Stavanger and in the Dalane District Court organization he was hired in the Sogn District Court office in 1912.[1]

He originally aligned with the Liberal Party, but changed to Labour in 1918. He co-founded the local party branch in Leikanger in 1918 and the regional branch in Sogn in 1920. He served in the school board and municipal council.[1] In the 1927 Norwegian parliamentary election the Labour Party won one seat in Sogn og Fjordane, and Njøs was elected as the first deputy of MP Anders A. Lothe.[2] He served as such for one term, and died in 1934.[1]
