Sweden election razor-thin: one seat may decide far-right government entry
YnetLO·SE · IL·1 day ago
In Sweden's parliamentary election, the Sweden Democrats failed to break through as expected, leaving the right-wing bloc short of a majority. The result deviates from pre-election polls and complicates government formation, potentially keeping the center-left in power.
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.
