Magdalena Andersson expressed concern that the Centre Party might accept a proposal from Jimmie Åkesson to form a centre‑right coalition of four parties. She sees this as a risk of internal conflict within the Centre Party. The Social Democratic leader suggested keeping the Left Party out of government in order to persuade the Centre Party to remain aligned with her. Andersson’s maneuver aims to maintain the Centre Party’s cooperation with the Social Democrats. The debate has become heated because the next vote to choose a prime minister could involve Ulf Kristersson. If the Centre Party joins Åkesson’s plan, it could shift the balance of power ahead of that vote.
