The Kristersson cabinet () is since 18 October 2022 the 57th government of Sweden, and is led by Ulf Kristersson, leader of the Moderate Party. It is a coalition minority government consisting of three parties: the Moderate Party, the Christian Democrats, and the Liberals. The cabinet works closely with the Sweden Democrats, in accordance with the Tidö Agreement backed by a majority in the Riksdag.
The cabinet was installed following the 2022 general election. On 17 September 2026, following a defeat in the 2026 general election, Kristersson asked to be dismissed as prime minister and the cabinet became a caretaker government.
Formation
In the 2022 Swedish general election, the right-wing parliamentary faction consisting of the Sweden Democrats, the Moderate Party, the Christian Democrats, and the Liberals won a slim majority of 176 out of 349 seats. Following a month of negotiations, the Tidö Agreement was signed between the parties. Along with a list of common reforms, the agreement stipulates the parties' intention to govern as a coalition, with the confidence and supply from the Sweden Democrats.
On 17 October 2022, Kristersson was elected Prime Minister of Sweden by the Riksdag following a 176–173 vote. It is the first time the Sweden Democrats exert direct government influence. Some European Union lawmakers criticised the centre-right and the Moderate Party in particular, as a member of the European People's Party, for allying with the far-right, as did Swedish opposition leaders.
The next day a special council was held at the Royal Palace to mark the formal accession of the new government and King Carl XVI Gustaf, who chaired the meeting, confirmed that a change of government had taken place.url=https://www.kungahuset.se/arkiv/nyheter/2022-10-18-ny-regering-tilltradd-i-konselj-under-kungens-ordforandeskap
