The previous Carlsson I cabinet had resigned due to its economic emergency package being voted down in the Riksdag (Swedish parliament). In the absence of a non-socialist alternative cabinet, Carlsson was re-elected as prime minister and formed this new cabinet.[2] The need for an emergency package were still left when this second cabinet assumed office on 27 February 1990. On 5 April 1990, the cabinet made up an emergency package with the People's Party.[citation needed] The cabinet resigned following a defeat in the 1991 general election and was succeeded by the centre-right Carl Bildt cabinet.[3]
