Deputy Prime Minister Of Sweden
The deputy prime minister of Sweden ( sv, Ställföreträdande statsminister) is the deputy head of government of Sweden. The incumbent deputy prime minister is Ebba Busch. The Swedish constitution allows the prime minister to appoint one of the ministers in the cabinet as deputy prime minister ( sv, ställföreträdande statsminister, sometimes unofficially known as ''vice statsminister''), in case the prime minister for some reason is prevented from performing his or her duties.
