Swedish prime minister steps down as opposition leader seeks to form new government

Ulf Kristersson declared that he will leave office, triggering a shift in Sweden's political landscape. Magdalena Andersson, head of the Socialdemokraterna, said the Swedish electorate voted for unity and against division. She announced her intention to try to assemble a governing coalition after the centre-right parties lost their majority. The move follows recent parliamentary elections that left the governing bloc without a clear lead.
