Stefan Lofven elected for a second term as PM of Sweden

In Sweden, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has been elected for a second term, ending a four-month political vacuum. Lofven's minority centre-left government, comprising his Social Democrats and the Greens, won the backing of the Centre and Liberal parties. The latter two until now were members of the four-party centre-right opposition Alliance.
 
The Prime Minister is expected to formally



present his new government and its full programme on Monday. It will be one of the weakest administrations in Sweden in 70 years, with just 32.7 per cent of voters having cast ballots for the two parties.
