The bloc composed of the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Left and Center parties won 176 of the 349 seats available in the Stockholm Parliament. The center-right coalition supporting outgoing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson of the Moderates stopped at 173 seats.
This group includes the Swedish Moderates, the Christian Democrats, the Liberals, and the Sweden Democrats party, a far-right formation. The election result was notoriously close and difficult to predict.
At the start of the count, the opposition’s narrow margin was uncertain, but it was confirmed after counting the early votes that had not arrived at the polling stations by election day, including those from abroad.
The Social Democrats thus confirmed themselves as the largest single party, despite having lost some support. The election result strengthens former Prime Minister Andersson’s hope of regaining the post lost in 2022, although she will face the difficult task of forming a government due to tensions within the center-left bloc.
