Magdalena Andersson fails to form Swedish government after center-left bloc talks collapse
Swedish Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson announced on September 28, 2026 that she could not form a government following her center-left bloc's narrow election victory on September 13. The four-party bloc won 176 of 349 parliamentary seats but talks foundered on divisions between the Center Party and the Left Party. Parliament speaker is expected to ask another leader, likely outgoing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, to attempt forming a government.
