Sweden’s center-left opposition led by Social Democrat Magdalena Andersson narrowly defeated the incumbent right-wing governing bloc in Sunday’s parliamentary election, public broadcaster SVT reported on Wednesday, as 99% of votes were counted.
With fewer than 1% of districts remaining, Andersson’s four-party bloc held 176 seats in the 349-seat Riksdag, while Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s coalition, which includes the far-right Sweden Democrats, had 173, according to data from Sweden’s election authority. The margin stood at just 26,169 votes as of Wednesday afternoon, though the count remained fluid as late ballots from home and overseas were processed.
SVT’s election forecast placed the probability of a left-wing victory at 99.9% by Wednesday evening, with the final seat tally shifting between 175-174 and 176-173 as additional votes were tallied. The election authority said the process could extend until Thursday before all votes were accounted for.
Andersson’s Social Democrats remained the largest single party, though their 28% vote share marked their worst performance in over a century. The Moderates, led by Kristersson, secured 19.8%, overtaking the Sweden Democrats, who polled at 17.6%, below expectations. The Center Party, with 7% support, emerged as a potential kingmaker, though it has ruled out cooperation with both the far right and the left’s most radical factions.

SVT: Håpet ute for de borgerlige Det er ikke lenger mulig for de borgelige å ta igjen forspranget fra den sosialistiske opposisjonen. SVTs valgprognose viser med 99,9 prosent sikkerhet at det blir maktskifte i Sverige. – Sannsynligheten for at denne situasjonen kommer til å snu, er så lav at vi velger å slå fast at opposisjonen har flest mandater i dette valget, sier SVTs valgekspert Fouad Youcefi tidlig onsdag kveld. Mandatfordelingen har svingt gjennom opptellingen, og har vist at det har vært ett mandat som skiller blokkene. 99 prosent er talt opp klokken 1830. Opptellingen er ikke ferdig i 45 av landets 6626 valgdistrikter.
