Sweden's centre-left opposition narrowly won the parliamentary elections, taking 176 seats in the new parliament. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's right-wing bloc will hold 173 seats. After the final results were announced, Kristersson said on Thursday that he would step down as prime minister. hnonline.sk ↗
The result was confirmed by Sweden's national election authority after all votes had been counted. The election ended with a very narrow margin, and roughly 300,000 votes from abroad and early voting had to be counted to complete the tally. The count took four days. teraz.sk ↗
The centre-left bloc is led by Social Democrat chairwoman Magdalena Andersson. According to available post-election estimates, she could return to the post of prime minister, but will first have to reach an agreement with coalition partners. Her allies form a diverse bloc, which could complicate negotiations on a new government. NOS ↗
Following the election defeat, Kristersson's right-wing coalition will thus lose its parliamentary majority. The prime minister has requested to be released from his post, and his resignation opens the way for negotiations on forming a new government. Sweden's further political direction will be decided by post-election negotiations between the centre-left parties and their partners. idnes.cz ↗
