> Sweden votes on Sunday in a contest between the center-left opposition and the right-wing bloc led by incumbent Ulf Kristersson. If Kristersson’s alliance wins, the populist Sweden Democrats could enter government for the first time. The opposition, led by former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, has seen its polling lead narrow as election day approaches.
