STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven named Green Party's co-leader Isabella Lovin as his deputy in a mid-term cabinet reshuffle aimed at giving the minority coalition fresh energy after a series of scandals and falling poll numbers.

Two years into a four-year term, voters have little faith in the coalition as a result of its hesitant response to the asylum crisis and a series of gaffes by Green Party politicians, with polls showing Lofven himself deeply unpopular.
