This follows the Green Party withdrawal from her coalition plunging the country into political uncertainty

Sweden‘s first-ever female prime minister has resigned just hours after she was appointed after her coalition partner quit parliament and her budget failed to gain enough support.

The outgoing PM’s budget was replaced by another one that was drafted by opposition parties and includes the anti-immigrant far-right group.

The Greens is the coalition party in which the former leader’s party formed government with and it said it could not possibly accept a budget “drafted for the first time with the far-right”.

Ms Andersson said that she hoped to to try to become prime minister again as a single party government leader.

“There is a constitutional practice that a coalition government should resign when one party quits,” the Social Democrat said on Wednesday. “I don’t want to lead a government whose legitimacy will be questioned.

The speaker of parliament said he would contact party leaders on the next move.

Ms Andersson was elected as prime minister earlier on Wednesday because under Swedish law, she only needed a majority of MPs not to vote against her.
