Sweden's Election Too Close to Call as Far Right Loses Ground
With over 50% of votes counted, the opposition led by Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson narrowly leads Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's right-wing alliance. The race remains too close to call, with experts predicting a tight outcome. The far right's decline continues despite a strong showing.
As of September 14, 2026, more than 50% of votes have been counted in Sweden's general election. The four opposition parties, led by Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson, hold a narrow lead over Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's right-wing alliance. Analysts suggest the race could hinge on the remaining votes, with the outcome uncertain. The far right, which had seen a surge in support in recent years, appears to be losing ground, a trend that could reshape the political landscape.
