Sweden’s right-wing opposition parties were on track to win a narrow majority of 175 seats in the 349-seat parliament on Sunday, beating the ruling centre-left, the country’s election authority said as 78% of districts had reported results.
\nAccording to international media, near final results in Sweden\u2019s election Sunday show that a bloc of right-wing parties was expected to defeat a left-wing bloc headed by Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson. The conservative group includes a populist anti-immigration party that made its best ever showing.
\nHowever, the result was so close that the election authority said it would not be known before Wednesday when some uncounted votes, including those cast abroad, have been tallied.
\nAccording to the early count, Andersson\u2019s ruling left-wing Social Democrats won 30.5% of the vote, more than any other party. However a bloc of four left-wing parties appeared to fall short as a whole of winning a majority of votes in the 349-seat parliament, or Riksdag.
\nExit polls had initially predicted a narrow victory for Andersson\u2019s camp but as the evening wore on, and the vote count supplanted the exit poll, the results tipped in favor of the conservatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
