Early life and career edit
Fredh was born on 23 September 1945 in Borge, Østfold. He started his political career as a member of the communist party youth wing. He later became chairman of the Labour Party of the Communist Party and became a member of the Bergen City Council.[1]
He later became a member of the Communist Party and when the party participated in the Socialist Electoral League, he was elected Organizational Secretary of the coalition in the national convention of 1973.[1] He was a notable figure during the unification process, and sided with the coalition "supporters" led by Reidar T. Larsen in the Communist Party.[2] When the party broke off its ties to the Socialist Left Party Fredh left the Communist Party to become a member of the Socialist Left.[3] In the new party's first national convention he was elected party secretary.[1] In 1977 he was replaced by Lasse Jahnsen in the role of secretary.[4]
In 1989 he became Secretary of the People's Alliance for Environment, Labor and Welfare, a small county list in Østfold which sought to support the candidacy of Larsen; he'd lost his seat in the 1977 election. The coalition was made up of local Labour, Socialist Left and Communist Party members.[5]
