Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson resigns: Why did he quit and who is likely to replace him? | Mint
Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson resigned on 17 September after his right-wing bloc won 173 seats against the centre-left opposition's 176. Magdalena Andersson, who led the Social Democrats, now looks likely to return as prime minister. Andersson promised a new direction after four years of hard lines on immigration and crime. Coalition talks may take time, and the result still needs formal certification.
