Fredrik Reinfeldt, a Swedish economist, politician, and leader of the moderate party, served as the Prime Minister of Sweden from October 2006 to October 2014. Reinfeldt joined the Swedish moderate coalition youth organization at the age of 18 and actively participated in political activities during his university years. In 1991, Reinfeldt was elected as a member of parliament. Afterwards, he successively served as the Chairman of the Youth Alliance of the Moderate United Party, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, the Chairman of the Judicial Committee, and a member of the Diplomatic Advisory Committee. In 2003, he was elected as the Chairman of the Moderate United Party. In October 2006, Reinfeldt became Prime Minister. In October 2010, Reinfeldt was re elected as Prime Minister and stepped down in October 2014. At the age of 18, Reinfeldt joined the Youth Department of the moderate party in 1983. When studying at Stockholm University, he participated in the opposition party of middle-class students and served as its chairman from 1988 to 89. He served as the chairman of the T \u00e4 by branch of the moderate party's youth department in 1990 and was elected as a member of parliament in 1991. When Burlingland was elected as the new party chairman in 1999, Reinfeldt was also elected as a member of the Congressional Trust Coordination Committee, which was his first important position after a conflict with the moderate party's central government several years ago. Between 2001 and 2002, he served as the Chairman of the Judicial Committee of the National Assembly. In 2002, Reinfeldt was appointed as the leader of the moderate party's parliamentary caucus, spokesperson for economic issues, and vice chairman of the Finance and Economics Committee. He was unanimously approved by the moderate party congress on October 25, 2003, replacing the resigned Burlingram as the new leader of the moderate coalition party. In 2004, Reinfeldt was one of the important promoters of the establishment of the Swedish alliance with middle-class attributes, which facilitated the transformation of the political landscape through the victory of the 2006 parliamentary election. 41 year old Reinfeldt became Sweden's third youngest Prime Minister. Reinfeldt's first term was during a period of global financial crisis and economic recession. Due to the previous economic situation in Sweden, Reinfeldt's popularity was once weakened. But the restructured government brought about a recovery in the Swedish economy, and Reinfeldt also gained the support of the people, which directly led to his re-election in 2010. Due to the failure of the right-wing party coalition led by Reinfeldt in the 2014 general election, he also stepped down in October of the same year. Reinfeldt became the longest serving Prime Minister of a non social democratic party since Eric Gustav Bost. The election results of 2006 confirmed Reinfeldt's position as Prime Minister, and subsequently the Swedish Speaker demanded that Reinfeldt form a new government from the Swedish Alliance. At the press conference, Reinfeldt emphasized that the formation of this new government has many historical significance, as it is the first time in many years that Sweden has formed a multi-party government. On October 4, 2006, the spokesperson and Speaker of the new Swedish parliament, Westberg, nominated Reinfeldt as the new Prime Minister of Sweden. In July 2009, when Sweden took over the European Commission from the Czech Republic, Reinfeldt became a member of the European Union
