TALMANNEN
After the parliamentary election on September 13, 2026, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson submitted a request for resignation. I then conducted talks with the party leaders of the parliamentary parties and subsequently tasked Magdalena Andersson, Socialdemokraterna, with probing the conditions for forming a government that can be tolerated by the Riksdag.
After a pause in the exploratory assignment, she has today submitted her final report to me. Against that background, I intend to propose that she be approved by the Riksdag as Prime Minister. According to Chapter 6, Section 4, first paragraph of the Instrument of Government, it is incumbent upon me to submit a proposal for a new Prime Minister for the Riksdag's approval.
I have, as I have said, consulted with representatives for every party group within the Riksdag and deliberated with the deputy speakers. I have also informed the head of state, His Majesty the King. I now propose that the Riksdag appoint Magdalena Andersson, Socialdemokraterna, as the new Prime Minister, who intends to form a social democratic single-party government.
In our deliberations, Magdalena Andersson has been careful to emphasize that she has not actually explored the conditions for forming a Social Democratic single-party government. However, it appears from established constitutional practice that a prime ministerial candidate must be nominated with a clear statement regarding which government constellation the person intends to form. In this situation, she has made the assessment that she wishes to be tested as the leader of a Social Democratic single-party government.
