Chaos in the Scandinavian country: the big election winner returns the mandate

Sweden is in a political crisis: Magdalena Andersson, leader of the Social Democratic Party, returned the mandate to form a government to the Speaker of Parliament, Andreas Norlén, after the Left Party supported the right-wing candidate Ulf Kristersson for the position of Speaker of Parliament. Norlén will now have to decide who will receive the next task.

Sweden is in a political crisis after Magdalena Andersson, leader of the Social Democratic Party and the big election winner, returned the mandate to form a government to the Speaker of Parliament, Andreas Norlén. The decision came after the Left Party supported the right-wing candidate, Ulf Kristersson, for the position of Speaker of Parliament, a move that thwarted Andersson's chances of forming a coalition. Andersson clarified that she does not rule out the possibility of trying again to form a government in the coming weeks. Now Norlén is responsible for deciding who to give the next task to, with one option being to give it to Kristersson. If the parliament rejects four proposals for prime minister, Sweden will have to hold new elections.
