Sweden’s September 13 general election delivered a narrow 176-173 seat majority for the centre-left opposition bloc, prompting outgoing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to resign and clearing the path for Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson to lead government formation talks. The final tally confirmed the Social Democrats as the largest party despite modest seat losses, while the Sweden Democrats recorded their first general-election decline in decades. Andersson has begun negotiations with the Left, Centre and Green parties, though differences over cabinet posts and policy priorities could extend the process into late September or beyond. Traders assign her an overwhelming implied probability as the next prime minister, with only slim residual odds attached to Kristersson should coalition talks collapse. The new Riksdag convenes on September 28, with the earliest possible vote on a prime minister candidate set for September 29.
