The Swedish parliament has tasked Ulf Kristersson, the prime minister who resigned in September, with forming a government.

After Magdalena Andersson's failed attempts to form a government, Ulf Kristersson is given a chance despite his coalition losing the parliamentary majority. Andersson's party, along with allies, secured 176 seats, while the conservative coalition obtained 173. Kristersson resigned before the vote counting ended and now has until November 10 to report on his government formation efforts. He anticipates challenges ahead, as the process has already taken 51 days without a new government. The results of the election were disappointing for major parties, including the Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats, who received fewer votes than before.
