Ivar Lykke (9 January 1872 in Trondheim – 4 December 1949 in Trondheim[1]) was a Norwegian politician from the Conservative Party, who served as the prime minister of Norway from 1926 to 1928. He was also president of the Storting from 1919 to 1927.[2]
Lykke was a member of the parliament's presidium in 1940;[3] he stepped in (according to mandate) for president in exile, C. J. Hambro.[4]
On 27 June 1940 Lykke, and others of parliament's presidium, signed an appeal to King Haakon VII, about [the desire for] his abdication.[3] (The presidium back then consisted of the presidents and vicepresidents of parliament, Odelstinget and Lagtinget.[5])
