He was born in Lote in Gloppen as a son of farmers Anton Jakobsen Lothe (1852–1932) and Anne Marie A. Røsæt (1853–1940).[1]
He was a member of Gloppen municipal council between 1919 and 1928, except for a short period between 1923 and 1925. He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament from Sogn og Fjordane in 1925, and was re-elected on five occasions, with a spell as deputy representative during the term 1928–1930.[1] However, he served most of that term as well, after regular representative Per Klingenberg Hestetun died.
Lothe was President of the Lagting, the former quasi-upper house of the parliament of Norway, from 1945–1954.[1]
