Sweden faces political deadlock after Andersson gives up attempt to form government
The speaker is expected to turn to another leader after Andersson failed to unite the four-party centre-left bloc.
- On Monday, Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson returned her mandate to form a government in Sweden, saying "I can conclude that there is currently no possibility for me to form a government."
- The Left Party's weekend decision to support incumbent speaker Andreas Norlén of the Moderate Party created a new parliamentary majority, which Andersson said undercut her attempt to build a government.
- Although the centre-left bloc won 176 seats to 173 for the incumbent right-wing alliance, internal disputes between the Centre Party and Left Party prevented a stable agreement, according to Andersson.
- Speaker Norlén will consult party leaders on Wednesday to determine who receives the next mandate, with outgoing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson considered the likely candidate to attempt government formation.
- Sweden remains under a caretaker government while leaders navigate these impasses; failure to elect a prime minister after four parliamentary votes would trigger an extraordinary election within three months.
