The Andersson cabinet (Swedish: regeringen Andersson) was the government of Sweden following the resignation of Prime Minister Stefan Löfven and the hasty election of Magdalena Andersson as his successor. It was expected to be a coalition government consisting of two parties: the Swedish Social Democratic Party and the Green Party. In a late turn of events after the confirmation vote, the Green Party left the government cooperation due to the government's budget proposal failing in the Riksdag. The cabinet were originally planned to be installed on 26 November 2021 during a formal government meeting with King Carl XVI Gustaf, but Andersson decided to resign due to a precedent regarding changes in a government's composition; this happened just seven hours after the vote in the Riksdag. The Speaker then set Andersson up for a new confirmation vote to make sure she still had the Riksdag's approval.[1]
On 29 November 2021, Andersson won the vote in Riksdag and became the new prime minister of Sweden. Andersson is Sweden's first female prime minister and female head of government. She governs with a minority government by the Social Democrats. When Andersson's cabinet took office on 30 November 2021, it became the smallest Swedish government since 1979, relying on only 100 of 349 parliament members (28,65%).
On 14 September 2022, following the election in which her support coalition lost their parliamentary majority, Andersson announced that she would tender her resignation as Prime Minister on the following day.[2]
