The Left Party's decision to support the Moderates' speaker candidate Andreas Norlén triggered a government crisis in which Magdalena Andersson abandoned attempts to form a government.

During the term of office, the government has introduced temporary support that reduced the food VAT to 6 percent, halved the price of monthly cards in public transport and greatly reduced the petrol tax. Despite the fact that several party leaders avoided taking a position on raising VAT again in 2028, the answers in SVT's final debate and election compass indicate that the halving may remain. This would mean a tax loss of approximately SEK 200 billion until 2030, which is criticized as both expensive and accurate, especially in light of the great needs in defence, infrastructure and care for the elderly, as well as limited room for reform according to the Norwegian Economic Institute.

Andreas Norlén retains the role of speaker after the Riksdag vote, while the Social Democrats' Johanna Haraldsson becomes first deputy speaker and Julia Kronlid remains second deputy speaker.
