Sweden's left-wing bloc narrowly leads election as vote count continues

Sweden's left-wing bloc narrowly leads election as vote count continues

Early on Monday, the left-wing bloc held a lead of approximately 20,000 votes, with more than 90% of ballots having been processed. Sweden's electoral authority projects Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats will likely have a three-seat majority over the current conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's coalition. Counting will continue on Wednesday to include late early votes and votes from abroad, which could change the outcome.
