Sweden center-left bloc wins general election, ousting conservative coalition
ExpresoLO·SE·about 17 hours ago
In Sweden's parliamentary election, the Social Democrats under Magdalena Andersson emerged as the largest party, but it remains unclear if the center-left bloc can secure a governing majority. Vote counting is ongoing, and coalition negotiations will determine the next government.
Exit polls and initial vote counts project a victory for Sweden's center-left bloc, led by the Social Democrats, over the incumbent conservative coalition. While the Social Democrats are the largest party, securing a governing majority remains uncertain due to a narrow margin and ongoing vote counting. The far-right Sweden Democrats' potential role in government, if the right-wing bloc were to win, is now less likely based on current projections.
