2026 Swedish government formation

Rare card · No. 16575

In the 2026 Swedish general election, no political group or party won an outright majority, resulting in a hung parliament. The opposition parties (S, V, C, MP) won a narrow parliamentary majority, securing 176 of the Riksdag's 349 seats, compared with 173 for the Tidö parties (M, SD, KD, L). Following the result, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) announced his resignation and Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson began negotiations with the opposition parties over the formation of a new government. However, initial negotiations were not successful.
