In a vote of no-confidence held on 21 June 2021, the prime minister was voted out of office. The cabinet remained a caretaker government until a new cabinet was appointed.
With only 116 out of 349 seats (33%) in the Riksdag (Swedish parliament), the "red-green" coalition began as one of the smallest minority governments in Swedish history, and it relied on support from other parties in the Riksdag.
The cabinet was installed following a formal government meeting with King Carl XVI Gustaf on 21 January 2019. Stefan Löfven had previously announced his cabinet ministers at a parliament session.
