Following the first sitting of theRiksdag since the2018 Swedish general election on 24 September, Norlén was elected theSpeaker of the Riksdag.[1] After the centre-leftLöfven I Cabinet lost a vote of no confidence, Norlén began the task of nominating candidates forStefan Löfven's successor as Prime Minister, according to the SwedishInstrument of Government. The lengthy work of finding a prime minister that could be tolerated by the Riksdag was concluded on 18 January 2019 when Löfven was appointed for a second term. Norlén was reelected as speaker of the Riksdag on 26 September 2022.[2]
After the 2022 general elections Norlén presided over the government formations once again. This time he taskedUlf Kristersson with forming a government.[3] The government formation that followed is one of the longest in Swedish history second only to the 2018-2019 formation, which also took place under Norléns speakership.[4] On October 17 the Speaker proposed that Kristersson be appointed Prime Minister and he was approved by the Riksdag.[5]
