Sweden's parliament on Monday elected Magdalena Andersson as the country's prime minister, the first woman to hold the post, five days after she resigned from her post.Despite gaining a tag of prompting gender equality in the country, Sweden has never before had a woman as prime minister.Earlier Andersson was elected by parliament but had to resign just hours later before she even had a chance to formally take office after her budget failed to pass through parliament and the Green Party quit her coalition government.As per the reports, the parliamentary turbulence was unprecedented in politically stable Sweden, where the Social Democrats have dominated the country for almost a century.As of now, with 10 months to go before September general elections, the 54-year-old, who is the outgoing finance minister, will now head a minority government made up solely of the Social Democrats.She will take over the post officially on Tuesday, while succeeding the outgoing Prime Minister Stefan Lofven after his seven years in power.A total of 101 members of parliament voted for her, while 75 abstained and 173 voted against.
