Kristersson Resigns as Left-Wing Bloc Secures Slim 3-Seat Majority in Sweden

Sweden’s centre-right Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has resigned after his coalition lost the general election to a left-wing bloc by a narrow margin. The four left-wing parties won 176 seats in the 349-seat Riksdag, defeating the right-wing alliance’s 173 seats by just 50,000 votes. Former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, whose Social Democrats finished as the largest single party, is now expected to attempt to form a new government. However, coalition negotiations are anticipated to be difficult due to ideological divides within the left-wing bloc, particularly between the socialist Left Party and the liberal Centre Party.

Sweden Election: Center-Left Holds Sliver Lead as Far-Right Seeks Historic Cabinet Role

Swedish voters cast ballots in a razor-thin parliamentary election, with early results showing a negligible lead for the center-left bloc. The outcome determines whether the far-right Sweden Democrats will enter government for the first time or if the center-left will reclaim power. The race is defined by domestic welfare concerns, despite significant underlying fiscal pressures from rising defense costs.

Sweden votes in razor-thin race as far-right seeks historic cabinet entry

Swedes voted on Sunday in a tightly contested general election where the far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) could enter government for the first time. The race between the center-right bloc and the center-left opposition is nearly deadlocked, with polls showing a margin of just 0.3 percentage points. If the right wins, SD leader Jimmie Åkesson is expected to secure key ministerial roles, a shift from their previous role as external supporters. The campaign was marked by polarized rhetoric, including controversial immigration ads and personal attacks between leaders.
