The reshuffle in the government will be announced by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) in connection with him reading out his government declaration in the Riksdag.
Elisabet Lann is the second vice chairman of the City of Gothenburg's elderly care and nursing committee. She also sits on the Christian Democrats' party board and the party board's executive committee.
Lann is now taking over one of the Christian Democrats' and the government's most important issues – to shorten the healthcare queues. Despite election promises to reduce healthcare queues and billions in additions to the regions, not much has happened. Now there is only one year left until the election and Christian Democrats leader Ebba Busch wants to step up.
Elisabet Lann also sat on the healthcare responsibility committee, which investigated the possibility of fully or partially nationalizing healthcare, which is another Christian Democratic core issue.
Completely unexpectedly, Acko Ankarberg Johansson (KD) announced on Monday that she is leaving the government.
Acko is leaving because she has asked to leave. She has laid an incredibly important foundation, but when we are now going to step up two levels, it requires almost everything from a person, says Christian Democrats leader Ebba Busch.
As recently as a week ago, Ankarberg Johansson announced that she was running for another term in the Riksdag. Busch explains her change of heart with the timing of the nomination process ahead of the next election.
It's nomination time and if you don't want to trigger premature speculation, then you need to give notice. It's not more complicated than that, even if I understand that it can look strange, says Busch.
