Swedish Center-Left Opposition Narrowly Edges Out Right-Wing Bloc
Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT declared the center-left opposition victorious in Sunday’s election, ending a tight race with only 26,169 votes separating the blocs. Led by Magdalena Andersson, the Social Democratic Party is projected to secure 175 seats, just enough for a majority in the 349-seat Riksdag, while Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s right-wing bloc appears set for 174 seats. The high stakes involved preventing the far-right Sweden Democrats from entering government, which Kristersson had promised if the right won.
