Sweden: Swedish PM will resign this week

STOCKHOLM, 08 November 2021, (TON): Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Loewen will submit his resignation earlier this week. This was reported by the local media channel with reference to his press secretary.

At the same time, it is not yet clear when a new head of government may be elected.

Maria Suleng, spokeswoman for the prime minister said “at the beginning of next week, he will submit to the speaker [of parliament] his request to be dismissed from his post as prime minister.”

On August 22, Stefan Loewen, the Prime Minister and head of the Social Democratic Workers’ Party of Sweden (SDWP), announced his resignation.

The SDLPS congress elected Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson as the new party leader in place of Leuven. But he remains prime minister until the Riksdag (Swedish parliament) votes for a new head of government.
