Domestic. Sweden's Minister of Rural Affairs Jennie Nilsson (S) is leaving the government to become a Member of Parliament – in order to secure the victory for the Social Democrats in votes for the post of Prime Minister in the future, writes DN.

It is the even situation in the Riksdag, where Ulf Kristersson (M) collects 174 seats and Stefan Löfven (S) 175, who made Löfven try to secure the lead by letting Nilsson return to his place in the House .

Now there is feverish activity in the parties to get politicians to do their job: They must both get to work, which they rarely need, and they must be able to press the right button in this unusual moment.

A problem for Löfven is that the Social Democrat Sara Heikkinen Breitholtz is on sick leave and has not been replaced. It can make the game plan completely even and that is believed to be why Nilsson re-enters as a member.

– Everyone must do what is required to respect the election result that exists but also do what we can to ensure that we get get a continued Social Democratic government. It is an easy decision for me, Nilsson tells DN.

Sweden will eventually have a Turkish Minister of Rural Affairs in the form of the current Minister of Trade and Industry Ibrahim Baylan, who will take over Nilsson's duties.
