    Sweden made history on Wednesday by electing Magdalena Andersson as its first female Prime Minister after the Swedish Parliament elected Andersson as the country’s first-ever female Prime Minister.

    Andersson will succeed outgoing Prime Minister Stefan Lofven after a total of 117 members of parliament voted for her, while 57 abstained, 174 voted against and one was absent.

    Andersson is scheduled to take office on Friday.

    Stefan Lofven resigned on November 10 after seven years as prime minister in a widely expected move aimed at giving his successor time to prepare for the country’s September 2022 general election.

    Sweden is the only Nordic country never to have elected a woman as a national leader before.
