Sweden heads into coalition talks as left wins narrow majority and Kristersson resigns

Sweden’s centre-right prime minister Ulf Kristersson resigns after the Social Democrats’ left-leaning bloc secures a slim majority (176 seats) in the general election, allowing Magdalena Andersson to attempt to form a government. Andersson pledges to push climate, schools, healthcare, elderly care and immigration while opening talks with Left, Centre and Green parties; the Liberals and Christian Democrats have ruled out joining a left coalition, and the Centre–Left dynamics, plus the role of the Sweden Democrats, will shape the next phase of negotiations and potential cross-party arrangements.

Kristersson resigns after narrow election loss, triggering new government talks

Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced his resignation after his right-leaning bloc narrowly lost the general election to Magdalena Andersson’s center-left coalition; preliminary results put the left on 176 seats to the right’s 173 in the 349-seat Riksdag, with formal certification due soon. The Speaker will begin talks to nominate a new prime minister, while Andersson’s bloc starts forming a government, though policy disagreements—especially over taxes and the Sweden Democrats’ role—could slow negotiations. Historically, government formation in Sweden can take days to weeks.

Sweden inches toward left-led government as results tighten

With 99.9% of votes counted, Magdalena Andersson’s left-wing bloc appears on track to form a government as it leads Ulf Kristersson’s right- and far-right alliance; final confirmation and a parliamentary confidence vote are likely after all ballots are tallied, possibly by Sept. 29. The four-party left bloc would reach a majority if Greens, Center Party and Left Party cooperate, though Center Party leaders have signaled a cautious path that could complicate coalition talks, while the far-right Sweden Democrats faded in this election.

Sweden's election hangs on late ballots as left bloc leads

With about 94% of votes counted and turnout around 80%, Sweden's general election remains too close to call, with the left-wing bloc led by the Social Democrats ahead by roughly 20,000 votes and holding 176 seats to the right-wing coalition's 173; final results will depend on late ballots and overseas votes, and the path to a clear majority remains uncertain.

Left-leaning bloc on track to win Sweden as exit polls point to change

Exit polling in Sweden suggests Magdalena Andersson’s Social Democrats lead a left-wing coalition with about 51.3% of the vote, ahead of a right-wing alliance at around 46.8%. If confirmed, the result would deny Ulf Kristersson a second term and could prevent the far-right Sweden Democrats from joining the cabinet, marking a watershed moment for Swedish politics. Final results and coalition talks will take weeks, amid debates over immigration, crime, and NATO membership.
