Sweden has its Prime Minister, and his name is Ulf Kristersson.
The conservative leader was elected Monday by an absolute majority in Parliament, with unprecedented support for the far-right government of the Sweden Democrats (SD), marking a new political era for the Nordic country.
The leader of the Moderates party gathered 176 votes for his election as head of government, for 173 against.
The vote was greeted by applause on the benches of the three right-wing parties (Moderates, Christian Democrats, Liberals) which will form the future government, and of the SD, the first formation of the majority with 73 seats.
After eight years on the left in power, he succeeds the head of the Social Democratic government Magdalena Andersson, who ensured the transition after presenting her resignation after the elections.
It will be based on the roadmap presented on Friday, which includes measures to fight crime and reduce immigration, as well as a revival of nuclear energy.
