OSLO, Norway, March 3 (UPI) -- Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Prize committee who oversaw Barack Obama's receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize, was voted out of office Tuesday.
Jagland, 64, a former diplomat and Norwegian prime minister, will remain on the five-person committee, which is chosen by the country's parliament. Committee members changed after the Labor Party was swept from office in a 2013 election.
