Sweden Election Results in Tight Race, Far-Right Support Declines
Sweden held a general election where results showed a very close race between the left and right blocs. The far-right Sweden Democrats saw a decline in their vote share compared to previous elections, despite earlier expectations of a significant breakthrough. Political uncertainty is expected following the tight outcome, with one expert suggesting the country faces 'very messy' politics. Key election issues included migration, crime, and the economy.
