Sweden's Andersson Gives Up Government Formation After Election Win

Ten days after Sweden's general election, Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson has abandoned her attempt to form a government despite her center-left bloc's narrow victory. The talks failed because the Social Democrats refused to govern together with the Left Party, leaving no viable parliamentary majority. Sweden now faces a political deadlock with no clear path to a new government. The election result had already been one of the tightest in recent Swedish history.
