The Swedish public broadcaster called the election for the center-left bloc with a margin of 26,169 votes and less than 1% of ballots still uncounted. The projected seat allocation stands at 175 for the center-left vs. 174 for the center-right, according to the broadcaster.
Sweden's public broadcaster declared the center-left bloc the winner of the general election Wednesday evening with a lead of just 26,169 votes — roughly 0.4% of the total — and less than one percent of ballots outstanding. The projected 175-174 seat split would give the center-left a one-seat majority in the 349-seat parliament, making it one of the closest elections in modern Swedish history. The final count awaits the remaining uncounted votes, but the broadcaster assessed the result as definitive.
