Sweden's first female prime minister surrenders hours after her appointment.

Magdalena Andersson, Sweden's first female prime minister, resigned hours after her appointment, leading to political unrest.

Anderson resigned on Wednesday, citing a short budget bill and the Green Celebration Party's decision to leave its two-party coalition government. She was announced as leader earlier in the day and received applause from some MPs.

Anderson expressed her intention to lead a one-party federal government and be reappointed as Prime Minister. “I have asked the Speaker of Parliament to facilitate my duties as head of state,” Anderson said during a media conference. “I am ready to be prime minister of a one-party social democratic federal government.”

Both the Green Party and the Socialist Left Party support Anderson's reappointment as a finance priest, where she previously served for 7 years under her predecessor Stefan Löfven.

Swedish company Facility Celebration announced its decision to abstain from voting, allowing Andersson to take the lead once again. Although the celebrations were unable to pass the budget package due to the divided political environment, they remained united in their goal of preventing the Sweden Democrats from holding positions in the federal administration. Annie Löw, leader of the country's Center Party, claimed on Twitter on Wednesday that Magdalena Andersson would keep her promise to fulfill the agreement, and that the facility event would introduce her as prime minister.

“We are now making sure, once again, that Sweden can have a government that is not dependent on the Sweden Democrats,” the minister said.

On Thursday, Parliamentary Speaker Andreas Nolen is expected to announce the steps towards forming a new federal government. Andersson's selection as the leader of a minority coalition government was a political milestone, following a successful Left Celebration. Sweden's Constitution requires a legislative majority of at least 175 legislators in the 349-member Riksdag for heads of state to govern. The 54-year-old retained her position as head of state when 117 members of parliament supported her candidacy, with 59 abstentions. Andersson became the nation's first female prime minister with a single vote, as 179 members of parliament voted against her.

Sweden has long been considered a progressive country in terms of gender equality, although it is the only Nordic country without a woman prime minister. Anderson became leader of the Social Democrats when Löfven stepped down as party leader and prime minister earlier this year. The next political elections in Sweden are scheduled for September 11 of the following year.
