The result was attributed to the government's unpopular austerity policies as well as lingering effects of the early 1990s recession. After the election, a five party "Rainbow Coalition" was formed, between the SDP, National Coalition Party, Left Alliance, Swedish People's Party and the Green League, with SDP leader Paavo Lipponen appointed Prime Minister.
