Swedish lawmakers have re-elected Magdalena Andersson as prime minister just days after she resigned, becoming Sweden's first female prime minister for the second time.
Andersson was elected prime minister last week, but she resigned the next day after her proposed budget was defeated.
Magdalena Andersson is the 33rd Prime Minister to take the oath of this post.
She will succeed Stefan Löfven, who resigned as both prime minister and leader of the Social Democrats earlier this month and has since led a caretaker government.
Andersson has been Sweden's finance minister since 2014.
She previously also served as the Swedish Tax Agency's deputy director-general.
