Sweden Democrat leader Åkesson refuses to resign after election losses

Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats, rejects calls to step down after a poor election result, attributing losses to coalition partners and a diluted migration profile. He repeats unsubstantiated claims that the Social Democrats and Left Party mobilized 'Islamic votes,' signaling continued hardline rhetoric. The party will maintain its demand for ministerial posts, complicating coalition negotiations.
