Later in the evening, the party leader debate will be led by Ingunn Solheim and Jarle Roheim Håkonsen on NRK. The two will orchestrate four party leader debates around the country. After Arendal, there will be a debate from Hoven, at the edge of the Jostedalsbreen, Tromsø and finally from Bergen on September 8.
