Biography
Andersson was born in Rasjön, Dalarna, in 1884.[2][3] He was elected to the Riksdag in 1921 and served there until 1948.[2] Andersson was named as the president of the Liberals in 1935 which he held until 1944.[4] During his tenure the party regained its popularity partly due to its support for the socio-liberal economic thinking of Bertil Ohlin.[5] Andersson was against the activism of Finnish people in the country and argued that a cautious and isolationist policy should be adopted against it.[5]
Andersson also served in the coalition government led by Per Albin Hansson which was formed in November 1939.[1] Andersson was the minister of communications (Transport).[1] Next he was appointed governor of Dalarna and remained in the office until 1951.[2] He died in Falun in November 1961 at age 76.[2]
