Sweden's first female prime minister, Magdalena Andersson, has resigned from office only hours after being voted in, Sweden's official Twitter account announced Wednesday.
The Green Party has also decided to leave the minority coalition government with Andersson's Social Democrats, it said.
"The current government will remain as an interim government until a new government is in place," it added.
Ersson, 54, said she had told the speaker of Parliament she hoped to be reappointed as prime minister at the head of a "Single-party, Social Democrat government," Reuters reported.
She previously worked as Deputy Director General of the Swedish Tax Agency, according to her CV on the Swedish government website.
The Center Party was worried by the deal with the Left Party and had said it would not back Andersson's government in a vote on a finance bill proposed by three opposition parties.
"We cannot support a budget from a government which is moving far to the left, which we think the incoming government is doing," Center Party leader Annie Loof told reporters.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
