The Swedish Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson, admitted Wednesday, September 14, the defeat of the left and the victory of the block constituted by the right and the extreme right in the legislative elections, after an almost complete counting of the votes of a ballot very tight.
According to almost final results relating to more than 99 % of the polling stations, the right-end right block led by the conservative Ulf KrisSson will obtain 176 seats, against 173 for the left block led by Ms. Andersson.
“small majority, but nevertheless a majority”
Consequently, the social democratic leader announced her resignation, which will be officially presented on Thursday. The block formed by three right-wing parties and the far-right party of the Democrats of Sweden (SD) has “a small majority, but nevertheless a majority,” she said during a press conference. “I will therefore ask tomorrow (Thursday) to be dismissed from my duties as a Prime Minister and the responsibility for the future will be entrusted to the President of the Parliament,” she added.
Sunday elections were so tight that it was necessary to wait for a count of a few tens of thousands of missing votes this Wednesday to validate the complete results. Only those of a few offices still lacked Wednesday evening.
