Parliament
In 2021, Ojala won election to the Storting as a representative from Finnmark.
Following the Storting meeting regarding the electricity prices in September 2022, Ojala was denied to hold a speech because her party was considered an electoral list rather than a political party. She called it "undemocratic". The President of the Storting argued that she still could have held her speech had she asked to participate during the three minutes of discussion.[3]
In the 2025 Norwegian parliamentary election, Patient Focus received 10.9% of the vote in Finnmark, a reduction from 12.9% in the 2021 election. Ojala did not win reelection to the Storting.[4]
