In view of the new circumstances that emerged today, the Speaker Andreas Norlén is extending Ulf Kristersson’s task of exploring the possibilities of forming a government by a few days. The new date on which Ulf Kristersson will be required to report back to the Speaker will be announced later.
On 3 November, the Speaker Andreas Norlén gave Ulf Kristersson (Moderate Party) the task of exploring the possibilities of forming a government. Ulf Kristersson was initially asked to report back on his task by 10 November.
“In view of the new information that has emerged during the day I’ve decided, after talking to Ulf Kristersson, to extend his task by a few more days,” says the Speaker Andreas Norlén.
“Regarding today’s statements from the Centre Party, I also wish to repeat what I’ve said previously: the fact that someone has been given the task of exploring the possibilities of forming a government doesn’t prevent others from taking action. The parties should be able to engage in dialogue with each other even if they haven’t been assigned the specific task of exploring the possibilities of forming a government,” adds the Speaker.
