Centre Party signals willingness to join a Social Democrat-led government

Centre Party secretary Hannes Hervieu announced that his party would join forces with the Social Democrats to build a "strong and effective government" if the opposition maintains its advantage over the four right-wing parties. He reiterated the party's refusal to enter a coalition with the so-called fringe parties, namely the Sweden Democrats and the Left Party, arguing voters do not want an economic shift leftward or increased influence for those groups.

Social Democrat justice spokesperson Teresa Carvalho praised the Centre Party's stance, suggesting it could pave the way for Magdalena Andersson to become prime minister and for Ulf Kristersson to step down. Morgan Johansson warned that the Social Democrats might not be ready to make the same policy concessions as in the 2019 January Agreement. The comments come after Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson invited the Centre Party to discuss a possible non-Socialist majority that could still form a government.
