TheKristersson cabinet (Swedish:regeringen Kristersson) is the 57thgovernment of Sweden and is formed byUlf Kristersson, leader of theModerate Party. It is acoalition government consisting of three parties: the Moderate Party, theChristian Democrats, and theLiberals.[1] The cabinet works closely with theSweden Democrats, in accordance with theTidö Agreement backed by a majority in theRiksdag.
In the2022 Swedish general election, the right-wing parliamentary faction consisting of the Sweden Democrats, Moderate Party, Christian Democrats, and Liberals won a slim majority of 176 out of 349 seats. Following a month of negotiations, theTidö Agreement was signed between the parties. Along with a list of common reforms, the agreement stipulates the parties' intention to govern as a coalition, with theconfidence and supply from the Sweden Democrats.[2]
On 17 October 2022, Kristersson was electedPrime Minister of Sweden by theRiksdag following a 176–173 vote.[3][4][5] It is the first time the Sweden Democrats exert direct government influence.[6] SomeEuropean Union lawmakers criticised the centre-right and the Moderate Party in particular, as a member of theEuropean People's Party, for allying with the far-right,[7] as did Swedish opposition leaders.[8]
The next day a special council was held at theRoyal Palace to mark the formal accession of the new government and KingCarl XVI Gustaf, who chaired the meeting, confirmed that a change of government had taken place.[9]
