In a significant development leading to the Swedish parliamentary elections, all but one of the government ministers are set to run for positions. The Minister of Elderly Care and Social Insurance, Anna Tenje, is the only exception, choosing not to pursue a parliamentary seat. This decision has raised questions about the future of several ministers and their potential roles in the national political landscape, particularly if their party, the Tidöpartierna, loses the upcoming elections.

Currently, eleven government ministers lack a seat in parliament, which includes prominent figures such as the Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer, the Minister for Development Cooperation Benjamin Dousa, and the leader of the Liberals, Simona Mohamsson. The absence of these ministers from parliamentary seats signals the possible reshaping of Sweden's political landscape, especially as the country approaches crucial elections that could redefine party positions and policies.

The situation is also complicated for ministers like Andreas Carlson, the Minister for Housing, and Erik Slottner, the Minister for Civil Affairs, as they do not hold viable candidacy spots for the Stockholm mandates of their party, the Christian Democrats. Meanwhile, Anna Tenje is set to run again for local council in her hometown of Växjö, reaffirming her commitment to local politics amidst a tumultuous national election climate.
