Projections point to victory for the left in Sweden

Público13 September 2026 at 19:17

Electoral projections indicate that Swedish left-wing parties will have achieved over 50% of the votes in the recent legislative elections of the country. This result represents a significant turnaround compared to the trends observed in previous elections.

The positive performance of the left opens the way for a possible change of government in Sweden, potentially replacing the right-wing coalition that was in power. The projections are still being tallied, but the trend indicated by the first data clearly points in this direction.

The far-right, which had gained significant ground in previous consultations, ended up losing position in these elections. This decline contrasts with the growth trend that the party had recorded in recent years.

The overall result suggests a reconfiguration of the Swedish political landscape, with the left recovering the initiative after periods in which the right and far-right had dominated the public debate.

Why this matters

This political change in Sweden may influence European Union decisions and European migration policies. For Portuguese and Brazilian readers, the result represents a relevant political trend in the European scenario, where the left is recovering ground after years of far-right advancement. The loss of strength of Swedish far-right parties may signal a reversal of the political trend on the continent.
