Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson resigns after left-wing bloc wins election
Magdalena Andersson's opposition alliance secured 176 of 349 parliamentary seats, defeating the governing right-wing coalition's 173 seats.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced his resignation following the election results, which gave Andersson's left-wing bloc a narrow parliamentary majority. The opposition alliance led by Andersson holds 176 of 349 seats in parliament, compared to 173 for Kristersson's right-wing coalition.
The election outcome signals a shift in Sweden's political direction and will likely trigger negotiations for government formation under Andersson's leadership.
