Swedish PM Lofven tenders resignation: official
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven on Wednesday tendered his resignation, a widely expected move paving the way for his designated successor Magdalena Andersson ahead of next year s general election.
Lofven, who has been in power for seven years, stepped down as leader of the Social Democrats at the party s congress last week. Andersson, who is currently finance minister, was elected to replace Lofven as party leader, putting her on track to become the country s first woman prime minister if she wins a vote in parliament.
