Sweden is on the cusp of a power shift, casting aside the ruling Social Democrats in favor of a center-right opposition bloc as vote counting nears the finish line.
The tally currently shows a one-seat lead for a loose opposition bloc led by the Moderates’ Ulf Kristersson and including the nationalist Sweden Democrats, who have scored their best-ever result. Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson is yet to concede defeat. A conclusive result is expected Wednesday.
