Reuters reported that Sweden’s centre-left opposition secured 176 parliamentary seats against 173 for the ruling right-wing bloc after counting concluded following the September 13 election. The election authority supplied the totals for the 349-seat legislature, according to the dispatch published by ThePrint. Formal certification remained outstanding at publication. The result opened the possibility of Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson returning as prime minister after four years in opposition, but did not itself establish a government. Reuters said incumbent Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson had not yet commented on the final count.
