Quick Look

  • Magdalena Andersson (S) is not expected to become prime minister in Thursday's vote in the Riksdag.
  • She herself says that she will not be tolerated and suggests that Ulf Kristersson, leader of Sweden's second largest party, take over the probe mission.
  • Andersson mentions deadlocks between the Left Party and the Center Party and that four former opposition parties have secured a majority in all parliamentary committees and that the EU's trade agreement with Israel has been paused.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

After the election, it has been difficult to form a government due to deadlock between the parties, especially between the Left Party and the Center Party. Magdalena Andersson has tried to probe to form a government but has not managed to secure enough support.

Font size

Magdalena Andersson (S) will be tested as Prime Minister in the Riksdag. But during Thursday's vote, she will fall. Even Magdalena Andersson herself does not believe that she will be voted through.

- It will be a vote where I will not be tolerated by the Riksdag, Andersson says and mentions the deadlock between the Left and the Center Party in SVT's Morgonstudion.

- I have had great meetings with several parties. But there are deadlocks and there is no point in asking for more time. The Speaker may then take the process further.

I think Kristersson should take over the probe

According to Andersson, the election results are complicated.

- That this will take some time should not be a surprise.

Andersson wants to see Kristersson take over the sweeping task after her.

- Now the speaker will give someone else the task of probing. I myself think that it is reasonable that the party leader of Sweden's second most overthrown party takes over, i.e. Ulf Kristersson.

You say progress has been made. What has happened concretely?

- For example, we have four parties that were previously in opposition, which could form a collaboration around a new government, secured majorities in all the Riksdag's committees. We have also paused the EU's trade agreement with Israel, Andersson says and mentions that talks have been "good" at different levels.

In SVT's Morgonstudion, Magdalena Andersson says that it will take several prime ministerial votes to form a government.

- We have had different plans and for this situation I knew it would be complicated. This will take time. It will take a few votes to get enough pressure in the process.

An employee in the Government Office's security-sensitive operations had his security clearance revoked in spring 2026 but retained access to classified systems and premises. The person was found dead in his home just over a month later and left a letter in which he criticized security deficiencies and considered himself wrongly judged. The information is confirmed by independent sources.

Analysis: "It's time to step out of the sandbox"

The risk is obvious that the tours around the formation of the government are only perceived as political theatre. The responsibility rests heavily on the S-leader Magdalena Andersson, but also on the Left Party and the Center Party, whose incompatible demands prevent a red-green government. A protracted process in the Riksdag during the autumn, with prime minister votes that are already doomed to failure, is likely to lead to damaged trust not only in the parties involved but also in the political system as a whole.
