Sweden's Andersson Unable to Form Government After Left Party Supports Rival Speaker
Swedish Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson announced she cannot form a government after the Left Party backed a rival Moderate Party candidate for parliament speaker, undermining her coalition efforts. Despite the centre-left bloc winning a narrow majority in the recent election, Andersson said the current situation prevents her from securing support. The parliamentary speaker will now decide who will attempt to form a government, with incumbent Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson as a potential candidate.
