Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson wants to become Sweden’s prime minister again but is refusing to say which parties would support her, SVT reports.

The Social Democrats faced major difficulties securing a stable governing base the last time they led the country. Andersson has now told SVT that she has not decided which party leader she would call first if her party wins the election.

“I have not decided. It will probably be whoever answers first,” Andersson said.

During a campaign stop in Gothenburg, Andersson also said she was more accustomed to forming governments than driving trams.
