STOCKHOLM—The head of Sweden’s Moderate Party, Ulf Kristersson, said on Wednesday he would begin the work of forming a new government after Prime Minster Magdalena Andersson conceded her Social Democrats had lost the weekend’s general election.
The right-wing bloc, which includes Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Christian Democrats, and Liberals, appears set to get 176 seats in the 349-seat parliament to the left’s 173 seats, according to the latest figures from the election authority.
