Sweden election: right-wing populists lose ground, government formation uncertain

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.
