		</div><p>Sweden’s caretaker prime minister Stefan Lofven unveiled a two-party, minority coalition government just two days after garnering support in Parliament to cobble together a new administration.</p>
<p>No new ministers were announced in the centre-left government.</p>
<p>In line with constitutional rules, Mr Lofven unveiled in Parliament the names of his 22-member team selected from his own Social Democrats and the Greens.</p>
<p>This is Mr Lofven’s third government since he first became prime minister in Sweden in 2014.</p>
<p>Prior to unveiling his government, Mr Lofven addressed in parliament Thursday’s “tragic plane accident” in Orebro, west of Stockholm, in which nine people were killed.</p>
<p>We “want to express our deepest compassion in their grief”, he said addressing the victims’ families and relatives.</p>
<p>The new government will be formally presented to King Carl XVI Gustaf later on Friday.</p>
<p>The duties of Sweden’s head of state are ceremonial, and the monarch holds no political power.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Mr Lofven secured 116 votes in the 349-seat Riksdagen, enough to give him a mandate to form a government.</p>
<p>Politicians from the Centre Party and the Left Party abstained from voting which handed Mr Lofven the mandate.</p>
<p>In Sweden, prime ministers can govern as long as there is no parliamentary majority, a minimum 175 votes, arrayed against them.</p>
<p>A total 173 votes were cast against Mr Lofven.</p>
<p>Mr Lofven, 63, last month lost a no-confidence vote called by the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats party after his Left Party ally withdrew its support for the government over proposed legislation to deal with a housing shortage.</p>
<p>Sweden’s next general election is scheduled for September 11 2022.</p>
