    Sweden remains deadlocked after an election in which the centre-left bloc won 176 seats to 173, yet Magdalena Andersson gave up trying to form a government. The Left Party's decision to back a Moderate for Speaker angered her bloc, the Centre Party refuses any deal giving influence to the Sweden Democrats or the Left, and Jimmie Åkesson won't support a government without SD. Ulf Kristersson, despite leading the smaller bloc, may now attempt to form a government.

    Magdalena Andersson, leader of Sweden's Social Democrats, has handed back the government mandate to the Speaker after the Left Party shifted position, ending her attempt to form a government. The move deepens Sweden's political deadlock following an election that left no bloc with a clear majority, and attention now turns to whether the Speaker will give Ulf Kristersson of the Moderates the next chance to form a government.
