Swedish opposition leader Ulf Kristersson said he would now turn to “Plan B” as part of his center-right Alliance’s efforts to form a government after failing to secure the support of Social Democrat leader Stefan Lofven.
"The Alliance now needs to agree on Plan B, when it’s clear that Plan A, judging from everything we know, can be excluded," Kristersson said at a press conference in Stockholm Wednesday. He declined to elaborate further on Plan B, saying only that he will now discuss it with his coalition partners.
