Swedish Social Democrats emerge as strongest party in elections

EuroTopics14 September 2026 at 11:34

In the general elections held yesterday in Sweden, the center-right coalition led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, with the support of the populist right-wing party the Sweden Democrats (SD), apparently lost its majority in parliament. The result is not yet official.

The Social Democrats emerged as the largest party in the country in these elections. If the result is confirmed, the party could now secure a narrow majority through a center-left coalition, according to the analysis of the preliminary results.

The Sweden Democrats party (SD), which had supported Kristersson's coalition, lost votes in these elections compared to previous elections, which contributes to the possible change of power in the Nordic country.

The final official result of the elections is not expected until Wednesday, when the Swedish electoral authority is expected to confirm the definitive numbers and the distribution of seats in the Riksdag, the country's unicameral parliament.
