Disguised in sunglasses and a taxi driver's uniform, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg pretended to be a taxi driver to get closer to Norwegian voters in Oslo.
The charade, which forms part of Stoltenberg's re-election campaign, was filmed and the footage released on Sunday.
Stoltenberg told daily newspaper VG that the aim of the exercise was to find out what people really think.
"If there is one place where people say what they really mean about most things, it is in a taxi. Right from the gut," he told VG.
Stoltenberg has been the Norway's prime minister for the past eight years and believes he will stick with his day job.
"I think the nation and Norwegian taxi passengers are best served if I am the prime minister and not a taxi driver," he told VG.
Parliamentary elections are scheduled to take place on 9 September.
