Swedish center-left bloc leads in exit poll, election too close to call
NOS·SE·1 day ago
Preliminary results from Sweden's election show the opposition with a narrow lead, according to the election commission. The final outcome remains uncertain as counting continues. This could shift the balance of power in the Riksdag and affect policy direction.
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.
