Sweden Votes in Tight Election with Potential Far-Right Government Entry
Sweden held a parliamentary election on September 13, 2026, with a closely contested race between the centre-left opposition led by Magdalena Andersson and the ruling centre-right coalition headed by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. The election outcome could see the far-right Sweden Democrats enter government for the first time if the right-wing bloc wins a majority. Kristersson has pledged to include the Sweden Democrats in the Cabinet, while critics express concerns about civil liberties and immigration policies. Voters focused on coalition-building amid debates over crime and economic issues.
