STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Swedish lawmakers on Monday reappointed Anders Norlen of the conservative Moderates party as speaker of parliament after the country’s right-wing block won a majority of seats in a general election on Sept. 11.
Moderates leader Ulf Kristersson has been handed a mandate to try and form a government after nearly a decade of Social Democrat-led rule, and is widely expected to form a minority cabinet supported by the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats.
