Sweden\u2019s centre-left opposition was projected to win 51.3 percent of the vote, ahead of the right-wing bloc\u2019s 46.8 percent, according to an exit poll by public broadcaster SVT.<\/p>\n

Voting in Sweden\u2019s election \u2060ended at \u206018:00 GMT on Sunday, \u2060and official counting is under way. Early results were expected from the Swedish Election Authority within hours.<\/p>\n

A separate election-day poll conducted \u2060by broadcaster TV4 also showed the centre-left in the lead.<\/p>\n

Swedish exit polls, while often indicative of the outcome, have not always proven accurate. In 2022, for example, a poll projected that Magdalena Andersson\u2019s centre-left bloc would prevail, but the election was ultimately won by a right-wing coalition headed by Ulf Kristersson, Sweden\u2019s current prime minister.<\/p>\n

Earlier in this campaign, Sweden\u2019s left-wing bloc appeared headed for a comfortable victory over conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson\u2019s four-party alliance, which includes the nationalist Sweden Democrats.\u00a0But the race tightened steadily in the final weeks of the race, turning what had looked like a relatively predictable election into a much closer contest.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, polls had given the opposition bloc led by Andersson\u2019s Social Democrats a lead of about 10 percentage points. By the final weeks of the campaign, that advantage had collapsed to just two to three points.<\/p>\n

A victory for Andersson would provide some respite for left-leaning parties across Europe, where right-wing and far-right parties have been gaining ground. Just last week, Alternative for Germany (AfD) won 44 percent of the vote in a key state election<\/a>, putting a far-right party within reach of power at state level in Germany for the first time since World War II.<\/p>\n

If the early exit polls are wrong, however, Sweden\u2019s election could instead bring the far-right Sweden Democrats into government for the first time. A party with roots in the neo-Nazi movement, it won 20.5 percent of the vote in the 2022 election, becoming the largest party on the right and a crucial source of parliamentary support for Kristersson\u2019s minority government.<\/p>\n

Until now, however, the Sweden Democrats have remained outside government. Kristersson announced in April that his conservative Moderates would be prepared to bring the party into a governing coalition if the right secured a majority, which would give the Sweden Democrats cabinet positions for the first time.<\/p>\n

But if the exit-poll lead is confirmed, the Sweden Democrats would be less likely to enter government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
