Magdalena Andersson wins elections in Sweden and admits coalitions to the left and center

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 08:33

The Social Democrats won the legislative elections in Sweden, led by Magdalena Andersson. With approximately 85% of the votes counted, the party reached 28% of Swedish voters' preferences, thus guaranteeing victory in the elections.

However, the fragmented voting leaves various coalition possibilities open. Magdalena Andersson admitted the possibility of forming alliances both on the left and center, showing herself open to different governing configurations to ensure the necessary political stability.

This victory represents a significant moment for Swedish politics, with Andersson positioning herself as the central figure in the formation of the country's next government.

Why this matters

Swedish voters face a period of political uncertainty while negotiations for government formation are awaited, after the victory of the Social Democrats who may need support from other parties to form a majority. This election follows a pattern of growing political fragmentation in Sweden, with multiple political forces competing for seats in the Riksdag.
