The September 13, 2026, Swedish parliamentary election produced a narrow centre-left majority of 176 seats against 173 for the incumbent right-wing bloc, with final results showing Social Democrats at 28%, Moderates at 19.9%, Sweden Democrats at 17.5%, Left Party at 8.4%, Centre Party at 7%, Christian Democrats at 6.2%, Greens at 6.1%, and Liberals at 5.3%. Ulf Kristersson resigned, and Speaker Andreas Norlén tasked Magdalena Andersson with forming a government. Negotiations remain stalled over ideological divides, particularly Centre Party resistance to Left Party ministerial roles and policy differences on taxes, energy, and spending. Andersson received a renewed mandate with an October 12 reporting deadline; failure could trigger further speaker attempts or an early election. Recent polling indicates limited public appetite for including the Left or Sweden Democrats in cabinet roles, while bloc cohesion and cross-bloc deals shape trader assessments of likely coalition outcomes.
