(AFP) Some passengers were paid to take part in a buzz-generating video which showed Norway's prime minister undercover as a taxi driver probing voters' concerns, his party admitted Monday.

Just one month before Norway's legislative elections that Prime Minister Jens Stoltenbeg's centre-left coalition appears likely to lose, a video was on Sunday released showing him wearing a taxi driver's uniform and sunglasses, sitting at the wheel as he drives passengers around Oslo.
