Following the 2007 election, Ryberg became the new county mayor (fylkesordfører) of Buskerud. Behind him was a coalition of the Labour Party, the Socialist Left Party, the Centre Party and the Liberal Party,[1] who kept the right-wing candidate Mette Lund Stake at bay with 22 versus 21 votes in the county council. Before being elected county mayor, Ryberg had been mayor of Hurum municipality.[2] He also served as a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway from Buskerud during the term 1989–1993.[3]
Following the 2019 Norwegian local election, he was elected as the county mayor of the newly established Viken county.[4]
In April 2022, Ryberg announced that he wouldn't be seeking re-election in the 2023 local elections.[5]
He resides at Filtvet.
