Sweden holds general election with far-right Sweden Democrats poised to enter government
Voting took place in Sweden's general election on September 13, 2026, with the centre-left opposition bloc led by Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats holding a narrow lead over the ruling right-wing bloc led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. If the right-wing bloc wins, the far-right Sweden Democrats, a party with neo-Nazi roots, would enter government for the first time with cabinet positions. The race was described as extremely close, with the gap narrowing significantly in the final days of campaigning.
