Magdalena Andersson, who last week was before resigning because a budget defeat made a coalition partner quit, was on Monday elected again as head of Government.
In a 101 -173 vote with 75 abstentions, the 349-seat Riksdag elected Ms. Andersson, leader of the Social Democrats, as Prime Minister.
She will form a one-party, minority Government. The Cabinet is expected to be named on Tuesday.
