Daarmee komt een einde aan een spannende nek-aan-nekrace tussen links en rechts. Rond 17.00 uur vanmiddag was het verschil tussen de twee blokken slechts 26.169 stemmen. Met 99 procent van de stemmen geteld, stevenen de partijen onder leiding van oppositieleider Magdalena Andersson van de Sociaaldemocratische Arbeiderspartij af op 175 zetels in het parlement. Het Zweedse parlement telt 349 zetels en om te gaan regeren zijn minstens 175 zetels nodig. Het rechtse regeringsblok vanNOS Buitenland
