Sweden’s centre-left holds a provisional one-seat election lead
Sweden’s election authority projected 175 seats for the centre-left bloc and 174 for the incumbent right. Overseas ballots and coalition talks remain, so the governing outcome is not settled.
Why it matters
Immigration, crime and civil rights were central issues, with implications for wider EU debates. No bloc should be described as governing before final certification and coalition-building.
