Yes. Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Thursday, September 17, 2026, that he will resign after his ruling right-wing bloc lost the country’s parliamentary election, Reuters reported.
Centre-left opposition parties won 176 seats in the 349-seat Riksdag while Kristersson’s bloc secured 173, according to the election authority’s completed count. In a letter posted on social media, he asked to be relieved of office so the speaker can begin forming a new government, with Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson expected to seek a return as prime minister.
