PoliticsSwedish election too close to call as far right loses ground

Sweden’s centre-left opposition bloc holds a narrow lead with about 95 percent of districts counted. The Sweden Democrats’ support fell three percentage points from 2022 to 17.5 percent, their first decline since entering parliament, but the party still retains major influence in a closely divided Riksdag. The final result may await early and overseas ballots.
