STOCKHOLM, Nov ⁠13 (Reuters) - Sweden's caretaker Prime ⁠Minister Ulf Kristersson said on ‌Fridayhe would later in the day submit a centre-right government policy proposal ​to the Centre Party, ⁠as he ⁠hopes to lure over the kingmaker ⁠to ‌thepolitical right to break a post-election deadlock.

The ⁠centre-left, headed bySocial Democrat leader Magdalena ​Andersson,won ‌a slim majority in September's ⁠vote, ​but has been unable to agree on how to share ⁠power. Kristerssonis meanwhile trying ​to build an alternative centre-right government.

Amid the deadlock, the Centre Partylast ⁠week issued an ultimatum to both leaders to show how they could govern without ​support from the ⁠political fringes, and is expected ​to choose a ‌side in the coming ​days.
