Sweden held a closely contested general election on September 13, 2026, with the centre-left opposition led by Magdalena Andersson and the right-wing bloc headed by incumbent Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson competing for parliamentary majority. Kristersson's coalition, supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats, has pledged to include them in government if victorious, marking a potential first. The election focused on coalition-building amid debates over immigration, crime reduction, and economic challenges, reflecting broader European trends of rising far-right influence.
