The right-wing coalition, backed by Jimmie Akeson's ultra-right, won the election in Sweden. And Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson , leader of the Social Democrats, resigned as prime minister.

An announcement arrived on live TV while the counting of the last votes in last Sunday's political elections was still in progress.

The right gets a narrow majority in the Riksdag, the Stockholm Parliament, and it will be up to the leader of the Moderates Ulf Kristersson to try to form a government with the support of the nationalist anti-immigrant party of the Swedish Democrats, the real winner of these elections . affirmed as the second party with 20.6% of the votes.

The right as a whole wins 176 seats against 173 for the left. Even if the Moderates are only the third force, the choice should fall on Kristersson, as the leader of the far right Jimmie Akesson would have difficulty as premier to have the necessary support to form the coalition.

" The result is clear. Tomorrow I will submit my resignation ," said Prime Minister Andersson regretting the fact that liberals and moderates agree to create a coalition government with the ultra-right of the Swedish Democrats.
