It is difficult to reach consensus on forming a cabinet! Sweden's Social Democratic Party Andersen's proposal to become prime minister was overwhelmingly rejected by parliament

After Sweden's center-left opposition camp won more than half of the seats in September's parliamentary election, MPs voted overwhelmingly today to reject Social Democratic Party leader Andersen as prime minister. She has recently told the Speaker that it will be difficult to form a coalition government with other left-wing parties.

Agence France-Presse reported that the Swedish parliament rejected the proposal for Magdalena Andersson, leader of the Social Democrats, to become prime minister by 248 votes against and 99 votes in favor. This result is generally in line with external expectations.

Andersson later told a press conference: "This is completely expected. After the election, we face a complex situation in the Swedish Parliament, with deadlocks on the left, center and right."

Anderson will serve as Prime Minister of Sweden from 2021 to 2022 and is also the first female Prime Minister. She reported to Parliament Speaker Andreas Norlen on the 13th of this month that it was difficult to successfully form a government with the other three left-wing parties. Although some progress had been made, "the conditions for forming a government are not yet met."

However, Nolen still put Anderson's candidacy for prime minister to a vote in Congress, a move widely seen as an attempt to break the deadlock.

Nolen is expected to consult with party leaders before deciding to appoint other candidates to try to form a cabinet.

Sweden's center-left opposition camp won a majority of 176 seats in the parliamentary election on September 13, and the ruling right-wing alliance won 173 seats; the total number of seats was 349.

However, it is difficult for all parties to reach a consensus on forming a cabinet. The center-right Center Party said it would oppose the Left Party's entry into the cabinet; the Left Party insisted on becoming a member of the left-wing governing coalition, otherwise it would not support the government.

According to regulations, the Speaker of the Swedish Parliament has four opportunities to submit the Prime Minister candidate to the Parliament for a vote. If the candidate is not approved, a new election must be held.
