Moderate Party Leader Ulf Kristersson has urged his center-right coalition allies to help end Sweden’s political gridlock by joining him in a minority government ahead of a Tuesday deadline.

Writing in a Facebook post Friday, Kristersson said he had given the other three members of the Alliance a few days to consider whether they "can and want to" join the Moderates in a government that stands for the coalition’s common political agenda.
