Sweden's Centre-Left Opposition Wins Narrow Majority; PM Kristersson Resigns

Sweden's Centre-Left Opposition Wins Narrow Majority; PM Kristersson ResignsPreviousNext

Sweden's centre-left opposition won a narrow majority in the parliamentary election, securing 176 of 349 seats, while the outgoing right-wing bloc won 173. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson resigned following the results. Former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats remained the largest party but face challenges forming a government due to tensions within the left-leaning coalition. The Sweden Democrats, a far-right party, lost ground, falling to third place with 17.5% of the vote. The election outcome requires formal certification before government formation begins.
