Ole Christian Liep Sohn (born 12 September 1954) is a Danish politician and author.

Ole Sohn was born in Torsted, in Horsens Municipality in Denmark in 1954.

[citation needed] In the years of 1972-1973 he took a Higher Preparatory Examination (HF) and later went to teacher's college.

Sohn was elected chairman together with the trade unionist Jan Andersen who was a communist hardliner who viewed Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms with great skepticism.

Sohn was elected to balance out Andersen as a young and dynamic candidate who could represent the Gorbachev faction of the party.

The election of two chairmen was meant to symbolize cooperation between the two factions of the party but Andersen died shortly after, leaving the young Sohn with the sole responsibility for settling the internal struggles in the party.
