SVT: Håpet ute for borgerlig flertall
Med 99,9 prosents sannsynlighet vinner opposisjonen, ifølge den svenske rikskringkasteren.
The Swedish general election is currently leaning towards the opposition consisting of the Social Democrats, the Left Party, the Center Party, and the Environmental Party, according to SVT's election forecast on Wednesday evening. This puts Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and his so-called "Tidö-party" - the Moderates, the Christian Democrats, the Liberals, and the Sweden Democrats - at risk of losing power.
As soon as 50 election districts were counted, SVT concluded that hope was lost for the incumbent government. The likelihood of a comeback in this situation is so low that SVT's reporter Fouad Youcefi stated with certainty that the opposition will have the most mandates in this election. After an evening on Wednesday, the lead swung back and forth between the blocs, and the leadership alternated between 176-173 and 175-174 in favor of the opposition.
Several major cities, including Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö, are still not fully counted. Voter turnout in major cities generally leans more to the left, writes SVT. The counting of late early votes and foreign votes - the so-called Wednesday votes - is still ongoing. For the so-called Tidö-party to flip the election, they would need to win an average of 26 percentage points in all remaining districts, according to SVT.
