Swedish elections are a tense battle between conservatives, the far right, and the left
On 2026-09-14, Swedes vote to choose between a new right- or left-wing government. Conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats, faces former center-left Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson. Recent polls, such as Ekot’s on Friday, show the left bloc at 50.8% and the right at 47.6%. Both blocs consist of four parties, needing at least 4% each for parliament seats. Key issues include healthcare, education, law and order, elderly care, and the environment. Preliminary results are expected at 21:00.
