  "account": "Sweden's general election produced a close result on Monday, with incumbent Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's right-wing alliance and the left-wing opposition both declaring readiness to govern. Opposition leader Magdalena Andersson claimed a one-seat majority in the 349-seat parliament alongside four other opposition parties, while Kristersson's Moderate Party held 19.9% of the vote. The far-right Sweden Democrats, however, saw a decline in support for the first time, receiving 17.6% of the vote. The final government remains uncertain, as municipal elections will continue counting votes on Wednesday, followed by a week-long recount process.",
  "summary": "With nearly 90% of votes counted, four opposition parties led by Magdalena Andersson held a one-seat majority over Ulf Kristersson’s right-wing alliance.",
