Harald T. Nesvik

Harald Tom Nesvik (born 4 May 1966) is a Norwegian politician and member of the Storting for Møre og Romsdal from 1997 to 2017. He is a member of the right-wing Progress Party (FrP).

In his statement to the Associated Press, Nesvik justified the claimed nomination, which was controversial to some, as follows: "The background for my nomination is their decisive action against terrorism, something I believe in the future will be the greatest threat to peace... Unfortunately, sometimes... you have to use force to secure peace."

Non-winning Nobel nominations are kept secret for 50 years by the Nobel committee, so Nesvik's claim is not officially verifiable until 2052.
