Thorvald Aadahl

Thorvald Aadahl (23 July 1882 – 26 March 1962) was a Norwegian newspaper editor, novelist and playwright.

He was born in Rodenes. He was chief editor of the newspaper Nationen from 1913 to 1942, and chaired the Norwegian Press Association from 1931 to 1934.

In the Norwegian parliamentary election, 1927 he was the third ballot candidate for the party National Legion, behind Karl Meyer and Frois Froisland and ahead of Jens Bratlie. In a press release, the National Legion (led by Meyer) stated that it had cherrypicked "strong" personalities to combat the hardships in Norwegian politics. Froisland denounced the ballot in an Aftenposten piece, stating that himself, Aadahl and Bratlie was unwilling and unaware of the nomination. He stated that a vote for the National Legion would be a wasted vote in the ongoing struggle against the "communists". However, according to Norwegian election law the people who were listed on the ballot had no legal grounds to avoid being nominated.
