Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, leader of the country's Conservative Party, has claimed victory in Norway's general election, saying the success was a result of "a team effort".

"We have received support for four new years since we have delivered on what we pledged," Solberg said in Oslo, thanking her party and voters.

"It looks like it is a clear non-socialist majority," she added, amid cheers and applause from party faithful at a hotel in the centre of the city.

Solberg also cautioned that there was a need to seek "comprehensive solutions" in the incoming parliament.
