Sweden’s centre-Left opposition bloc defeated the ruling Right-wing coalition in a razor-thin general election, Sweden’s SVT public broadcaster announced on Wednesday.

With 99 per cent of the votes counted, Magdalena Andersson, the former prime minister, was on track to win 175 seats in the Riksdag, the 349-seat parliament, putting it on course to form the next government. » | Lilia Sebouai Global Health Security Reporter | Wednesday, September 2026
