Far-right falls at the ballot box in a red-hot electoral night in Sweden

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 07:10

The legislative elections in Sweden are being decided down to the last detail, with the margin of victory potentially coming down to a single seat. The far-right party SD (Sweden Democrats) appears to have lost significant ground at the polls during the electoral night.

The provisional results indicate that the right-wing coalition, led by the Moderates under Ulf Kristersson, appears to be in a position to form a government, although the count is not yet complete.

The Social Democratic Party, historically in power, may manage to remain in government or come very close to victory, depending on the final results that are still being tallied.

The electoral night in Sweden is marked by high tension, with parties awaiting the definitive results that may take several more days to be confirmed due to the complexity of the Swedish proportional system.

Why this matters

Readers in this region follow the outcome of the Swedish elections closely, as the performance of the European far-right in these elections may influence the political balance in the European Union and reflect broader political trends on the continent. The tight result indicates a divided Sweden and could have implications for migration policies and European integration.
