Kjell Stefan Löfven is a Swedish politician and former trade-union leader who served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 2014 to 2021 and as leader of the Social Democratic Party from 2012 to 2021.
Born on 21 July 1957 in Aspudden, Stockholm, he was placed in foster care at the age of ten months with a working-class family in Sunnersta, Sollefteå, in northern Sweden, after his biological mother was unable to care for both of her children and his biological father had already died.
He trained as a welder, worked for many years in the metal industry, and rose through the ranks of the trade-union movement before entering national politics.
