Andersson and Dadgostar set to meet ahead of speaker election showdown
Andersson and Dadgostar are scheduled to meet on Sunday as the Riksdag prepares to vote on a new speaker.
A party source confirmed that Andersson and Dadgostar will hold talks on Sunday, though no details were released. Their meeting comes before Monday’s vote on the Riksdag speaker, where Andersson will brief the speaker on her mandate to explore a new government. The four red-green parties must agree on a successor to current speaker Andreas Norlén, while the Left Party says it may back his re-election if the Moderates nominate him, and the Social Democrats claim priority for the post.
Why it matters
The talks could shape who becomes Sweden's next parliamentary speaker and influence the formation of a new government.
