Sweden's center-left opposition bloc won 176 seats in Sunday's parliamentary election, defeating Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's right-wing coalition which secured 173 seats. Kristersson announced his resignation following the final vote count.
Sweden's parliamentary election remained deadlocked with the center-left opposition bloc projected to win by a single seat over Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's ruling coalition. The far-right Sweden Democrats appeared to lose ground in early results.
Sweden votes in an extremely tight general election on Sunday that could see the far-right enter government for the first time, with conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson promising cabinet positions to hard-right allies if the right-wing bloc secures a majority. Polls show the race between left and right blocs is too close to call after progressives squandered an earlier lead.
