Parliamentary election: Election thriller without end: Who can govern Sweden?
Sweden's Social Democrats are likely to win the most votes in the election. But can they form a government? While smaller parties are celebrating, the right-wing populists will likely have to accept losses.
Sweden's parliamentary election has taken place, but a government has yet to be formed. The Social Democrats, led by Magdalena Andersson, appear to be the largest party with 28.1% of the vote, based on 93% of counted ballots. However, it is unclear if Andersson's potential centre-left coalition can secure a parliamentary majority, as the parties have significant differences.
Conservative leader Ulf Kristersson still has a chance to remain in power in a coalition with the Sweden Democrats and other parties, with 173 seats compared to Andersson's 176. The final result may not be clear until Wednesday, when remaining votes are counted.
