First projections for the elections in Sweden indicate a victory for the left in the country. The preliminary results show that left-wing parties are expected to secure a majority in the Swedish parliament.
Magdalena Andersson, leader of the Social Democratic Party, is expected to become the first woman to hold the position of prime minister in Sweden, if the preliminary results are confirmed.
The projections were released by Swedish public television SVT, which based its calculations on initial vote counts across the country.
This result represents a historic milestone for Sweden, which had never before elected a woman to the position of prime minister since the creation of the parliamentary system in the country.
