Article
Ulf Hjalmar Kristersson (born 29 December 1963) is a Swedish politician who has served as Prime Minister of Sweden since 2022 and as Leader of the Moderate Party since 2017. He has been a Member of the Riksdag for Södermanland County since 2014, previously holding a seat for Stockholm County from 1991 to 2000. He also served as Minister for Social Security from 2010 to 2014 and as chairman of the Moderate Youth League from 1988 to 1992.
On 11 December 2014, he was appointed shadow Finance Minister of the Moderates Party and economic policy spokesperson. On 1 October 2017, Kristersson was elected party leader after Anna Kinberg Batra stepped down. Under his leadership, the Moderate Party opened up to the Sweden Democrats (SD) and, by late 2021, had formed an informal right-wing coalition with them together with two other centre-right parties and former members of the dissolved Alliance. In the 2022 Swedish general election, that bloc, later organised under the Tidö Agreement, obtained a majority in the Riksdag, leading to Kristersson's election as prime minister on 17 October.
