Sweden’s first female Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson on Wednesday tendered her resignation just hours after her appointment by parliament after her budget failed to pass and the junior Greens Party left the coalition government.

“There is a constitutional practice that a coalition government should resign when one party quits,” Andersson, a Social Democrat, told reporters.

“I don’t want to lead a government whose legitimacy will be questioned.”

Andersson said she hoped to be elected to the position again soon as the head of a minority government made up of only the Social Democrats.
