About

Dahle was born in Oslo.

At age 14, Dahle joined Lambertseter Youth Conservatives (Unge Høyre). He attended Oslo Cathedral School and Oslo Commerce School. After moving to Bergen in 1966, he moved to the far left and co-founded the Maoist group AKP(m-l) in the early 1970s. He remained in the party until 1997.

From 2003 to 2007, Dahle led the AKP(m-l)-initiated Red Electoral Alliance, which he had also helped establish. He continued to lead the Red Party, a 2007 merger of AKP(m-l) and the Red Electoral Alliance. In 2010, he was succeeded as Red Party leader by Turid Thomassen.

Dahle is openly gay since the late 1960s.
