Will the far-right have ministers in Sweden's next government? This is one of the big questions hanging over Sunday's elections

CNN Portugal12 September 2026 at 17:30

Sweden holds legislative elections this Sunday, the first since the country joined NATO, in elections marked by uncertainty over the composition of the next government. The big question hovering over these electoral events is whether the far-right will have ministers in the executive.

The electoral campaign was dominated by discussions about who will be part of the government and less by concrete political proposals. The parties focused more on the issue of government composition than on specific political measures.

The Sweden Democrats party, of the far-right, emerges as a central force in these elections. According to a political scientist heard in the article, there is "a certain fear regarding the possibility of ministers from the Sweden Democrats party" entering the next executive.

The elections are taking place in a particular context, marked by Sweden's recent NATO accession, which gives these electoral events added importance both nationally and internationally.

Why this matters

Readers are affected because Sweden is a neighboring and allied country, whose political orientation can influence European and NATO dynamics. The outcome of these elections and the possible participation of the far-right in the Swedish executive represents a significant political milestone for the European context.
