What led to Magdalena Andersson’s resignation?
Andersson had formed a coalition government with the centrist Green Party and the Left Party.
Andersson was voted to power on Wednesday in the 349-member Swedish parliament with 117 members supporting her, 174 members against her and a total of 57 members abstained from voting.
According to the Swedish constitution, “If more than half of the members of the Riksdag, that is at least 175 members, vote against the Speaker's proposal for a new prime minister, it is rejected. Otherwise, it is approved.”
Since less than 175 members of the parliament voted against Andersson, she became the Prime Minister.

If the prime minister chooses to remain in office after an election, a vote on the prime minister is held in the Riksdag within two weeks from the newly elected members first convening in the Riksdag.”
After stepping down, in a Facebook Post, Andersson had written, “The Center Party, the Left Party and the Environment Party have all announced that they will accept me as prime minister. I am excited to start working because I know that Sweden can do better.”
The speaker has proposed Andersson’s name to be the next Prime Minister and the voting is set to be held on Monday.
