Sweden’s Social Democratic Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson, admitted defeat in the parliamentary elections on Wednesday evening. Tough internal disputes are now waiting for the conservative four-party coalition that wants to take power.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson is defeated in the September 2022 elections.
Even before the official final result of the Swedish parliamentary elections on Sunday was known, the Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson appeared before the media on Wednesday evening and announced her resignation. By then, the still-ongoing count of votes cast early or from abroad had shown that the four-party coalition of centre-right parties had managed to extend their razor-thin lead from one to two seats in parliament over Andersson’s centre-left bloc. The chance that the result could still turn in Andersson’s favor was gone.
