Liv Signe Hundere Navarsete (born 23 October 1958 in Sogndal) was the Norwegian Minister of Local Government and Regional Development from 2009 to 2013 and has been leader of the Center Party since 2008. She first took office in 2005, serving in Stoltenberg's Second Cabinet. On 11 February she announced that she would retire as the leader of the party in April 2014. She was succeeded by Trygve Slagsvold Vedum.

She was also political advisor to the Minister of Health and Social Affairs (social affairs) from 1999 to 2000. Navarsete was appointed as leader of the Center Party in September 2008, having up until then been the deputy leader.[2]

Media

Liv Signe Navarsete has gotten several headlines during her years of office due to her temper. The first time was in April 2011 when she yelled at a woman after being accused for betraying the districts of Norway.[3] In September 2012 she yelled at the leader of her own party's youth organization, Sandra Borch, allegedly because Borch had expressed her support for Ola Borten Moe, the deputy of the Center Party.[4]
