Sweden election: Center-left bloc projected to win majority

Swedish parliamentary election Magdalena Andersson Socialdemokraterna Riksdagen election results

The Socialdemokraterna, led by Magdalena Andersson, is projected to win the Swedish parliamentary election, marking a significant political shift. Preliminary results indicate that the center-left bloc, comprising the Social Democrats, Center Party, Green Party, and Left Party, has secured a narrow majority with 175 or 176 mandates in the 349-seat Riksdag.

The right-wing bloc, led by the Moderaterna and including the Christian Democrats, Liberals, and the Sweden Democrats, is projected to hold 173 or 174 mandates. This result suggests that the current government, headed by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, will likely step down. While the Social Democrats remain the largest single party with approximately 28% of the vote, the Sweden Democrats saw a decline in support, dropping to roughly 17.5% and losing mandates compared to the previous election.

Voter turnout was reported at approximately 83.2% to 84.8%. The final results are subject to official verification as the counting of overseas and late postal votes continues.
