The final election results are expected to be known at the end of the night, but early projections already point to a significant change in the Swedish political landscape. Magdalena Andersson, leader of the Social Democrats, is expected to be the first woman to hold the position of prime minister in the country's history.

Why this matters
This political change in Sweden could alter the direction of European policies, given that the country is a member of the EU and NATO. Readers are affected because a left-wing government could implement new economic and social measures, as well as representing a historic milestone with the country's first female prime minister. This election follows a trend of turning to the left in several Nordic countries.
