  : The country voted for the Riksdag on Sunday (September 11) - the right-wing bloc is in the front, a change of government is possible.

• This news ticker for the parliamentary elections in Sweden is continuously updated.

Update from September 18, 12:47 p.m .:

The final result of the parliamentary elections in Sweden on Sunday confirmed the narrow majority for the conservative-right camp and a record result for the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats.

The four-party bloc of the conservative Ulf Kristersson won 176 mandates in the hard-fought election last Sunday, the left-wing camp of the former Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson 173.

According to the final figures, Andersson's Social Democrats are clearly the strongest party, as expected, with 30.3 percent.

Second came the Sweden Democrats, who achieved a record result of 20.5 percent and thus replaced Kristersson's moderates as the second strongest parliamentarian for the first time.

A total of eight parties made it into the Reichstag in Stockholm - four of them formed Andersson's camp, four the Kristersson block.

Voter turnout was around 84 percent.

Update from September 14, 8:07 p.m .:

Three days after the contested parliamentary elections in Sweden, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson gave up.

The conservative-right camp of her challenger Ulf Kristersson received a narrow majority in Sunday's election, the 55-year-old social democrat noted on Wednesday evening in Stockholm, even before the very last votes were counted.

Sweden election well decided: Andersson resigns

"That's a thin majority, but it's a majority," she said.

That is why she will submit her resignation as prime minister on Thursday.

Responsibility for the further process will then pass to Parliament President Andreas Norlén and the Reichstag.

Until a new government starts work, she will lead an interim government.

Shortly before, the narrow lead of the Kristersson camp, including the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats, had grown to 176 to 173 seats after almost all votes had been counted.

A preliminary result was still pending on Wednesday evening.

More than 99 percent of the constituencies had already been counted by 7:45 p.m.

Whether the four parties from Kristersson's bloc can ultimately agree on government cooperation remains to be seen.

However, the head of the Christian Democrats allied with Kristersson's moderates, Ebba Busch, already wrote on Instagram: "The Swedish people have voted for a change of power!"

Update from September 14, 7:43 p.m .:

Shortly before the end of the vote count for the extremely tight parliamentary elections in Sweden, the conservative-right camp was able to expand its minimal lead.

A mandate migrated on Wednesday evening from Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats to her challenger Kristersson's moderates, figures on the Swedish elections authority's website show.

At that point, more than 99 percent of all 6,578 constituencies had been provisionally counted.

The lead of Kristersson's four-party bloc, including the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats, over Andersson's four-party camp grew to 176 to 173 seats, after having been 175 to 174 at the end.

175 of the 349 seats in the Reichstag in Stockholm are necessary for a majority.

A provisional final result of Sunday's Reichstag election was expected on Wednesday evening.

Sweden's election thriller is about to end - the final result is eagerly awaited

Update from September 14, 3:33 p.m .:

The Swedish electoral authorities want to present a final result for Sunday’s parliamentary elections tonight.

It's not that far yet - but interim results from the counting of the last votes indicate a majority for the right-wing camp.

After evaluating 60,800 "Monday votes" - meaning postal ballots that arrived late and foreign votes - the Social Democrats lost slightly, reports the public broadcaster SVT.

So far, nothing has changed in the distribution of mandates.

In the 2018 election, there were a good 200,000 such late counted votes.

However, there are also problems for the conservative-right-wing populist camp in finding a majority: the votes of the liberals are also necessary for such a government.

But their youth association is opposed to a coalition with the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats.

Leader Romina Pourmokhtari told the

newspaper that it was an "impossible" for the Liberals to vote for such a government.

According to the report, Pourmokhtari will give up her role as youth leader, but could move into the Riksdag herself.

As things stand, the right-wing camp would only have a one-vote majority.

Update from September 12, 2:08 p.m

.: The right-wing populist Sweden Democrats are the big winner of the Sweden election.

Although Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson and her Social Democrats are once again clearly the strongest force, the figures so far indicate that she could lose her basis in government.

The reason for this is that the conservative bloc around challenger Ulf Kristersson has come closer to the Sweden Democrats and could now achieve a minimal majority with them.

There is applause for this from the AfD.

"We congratulate Jimmie Åkesson and his Sweden Democrats on their sensational success in the parliamentary elections," write federal spokesmen Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla in a joint statement.

“Not all votes have been counted yet, but apparently the Sweden Democrats will be the second strongest force.

There seems to be a conservative majority for Sweden.

A turning point for the Scandinavian country.” The “excessive crime rate” and “unchecked migration” have caused the population to rethink.

Sweden election: change of government?

Turn right result

Update from September 12, 10:30 a.m

.: Sweden is still without the final result of the parliamentary elections on Monday morning.

After a memorable election night, the Scandinavian country must brace itself for uncertain times.

A leading election expert from Swedish radio, Mats Knutson, said in an initial analysis on Monday that if the current figures remain the same, then it looks like an imminent change of government.

However, since the last votes have not yet been counted, there is still a glimmer of hope on the part of Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's camp that the very tight situation will change in their favour.

Sweden experienced a dramatic election thriller on Sunday.

Andersson's Social Democrats were clearly the strongest force, but a four-party bloc of their conservative challenger Ulf Kristersson, including the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats, was extremely narrowly ahead of the left-wing camp of the head of government during the night.

In the first forecasts, Andersson's side was just ahead.

Is the country now falling apart?

A comment on the election.

After counting almost 95 percent of the votes, the electoral authority sees the Kristersson bloc at 175 out of 349 seats, Andersson's camp at 174. According to the radio, the two camps separated only about 47,000 votes.

The preliminary result should be known on Wednesday at the earliest after the last votes have been counted.

Update from September 12, 6:52 a.m

.: The electoral authorities have announced that the final result of the election in Sweden can only be expected from Wednesday (September 14).

Only then would votes from abroad and late votes cast prematurely be counted.

According to initial projections, the right-wing camp is heading for a wafer-thin victory over Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's left-wing electoral alliance. 

Election in Sweden: According to projections, right-wing camp with a wafer-thin majority

Update from September 12, 2:05 a.m .:

The election evening in Sweden is coming to an end – but not yet waiting for a final result.

After counting 93 percent of the electoral districts, however, there is a trend: According to calculations by the broadcaster SVT, the "right-wing bloc" around the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats and the conservative moderators are in the lead with 176 to 173 seats.

In view of this, Conservative leader Ulf Kristersson could now be the first contender for the post of prime minister.

His party is behind the Sweden Democrats for the first time.

However, potential coalition partners are unlikely to accept right-wing populist Jimmie Åkesson as head of government.

Åkesson himself made an indirect claim to government participation and probably also a cabinet post that evening, but did not say that he wanted to become head of government.

Meanwhile, Kristersson emphasized that his party could “lead change”.

He wanted one and not split, the conservative explained.

The aim is to form a new, effective and stable government.

After years of rather unstable social democratic minority governments, this could also be interpreted as a pointer in the direction of close involvement of the Sweden Democrats.

Sweden is about to break with the way it has dealt with right-wing populists.

In the evening, however, the center party, which is assigned to the left camp, also made an offer.

Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, however, did not want to see herself as defeated.

The social democrat stressed that it would take a while before all the votes were counted.

No final result is to be expected during the night.

In view of the growth of her party, Andersson also praised the election campaign: "It has become apparent that Swedish social democracy is strong." The interim results at a glance:

Right-wing populists second strongest force in Sweden – Sweden Democrats apparently want to be in government

Update from September 12, 12:10 a.m .:

The party leader of the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Åkesson, is now openly hoping for a “change of power” in Sweden.

He didn't want to say much about "this bloc fight," he explained shortly after midnight at his party's election party.

But it looks "really good".

"If there is a change of power," he added, the ambition is to form a new "majority government."

a government as a silent power- giver

, but want to be part of the government.

This would amount to a rupture in Swedish politics that was unimaginable until recently.

However, like other politicians, Åkesson agreed to a long wait for a final result.

This could still be a few days away.

Linke boss Nooshi Dadgostar also expected a result “in the course of the coming week” almost at the same time.

She criticized the Sweden Democrats' election campaign, saying its success was based on the idea that "some people are worth more than others".

Sweden election: right-wing camp leads in the interim result – first party makes an offer to the conservatives

Update from September 11, 11:52 p.m.:

Even after counting 5,570 of the 6,578 Swedish constituencies, the right-wing party camp has a wafer-thin majority.

Furthermore, there are 175 to 174 mandates.

In the meantime, the formation of a majority is coming into focus: Annie Lööf, head of the Center Party, which was geared towards the Social Democrats in the election campaign, no longer ruled out an alliance with the conservative moderators in an interview with the TV station SVT.

To do this, however, the party had to “cut the ties with the Sweden Democrats”.

Source: SVT.se, as of 11:52 p.m.

Update from September 11, 10:56 p.m .:

The turning point in the Swedish election is here – at least for this moment.

According to current calculations, the right-wing camp holds the majority in the Riksdag with 175 to 174 seats.

However, the counting will take some time.

Postal votes from abroad can also have a great influence.

Sweden election: turning point late in the evening?

Rights are catching up massively 

Update from September 11, 10:40 p.m .:

Late on the evening of the election, tension unexpectedly arises again in Sweden: According to the TV broadcaster SVT, current interim results see the gap between the left and right camps shrinking.

According to the latest figures, the distribution of seats is 175 to 174 for the supporters of the Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson.

A little later, the right camp even took the lead.

This is mainly due to the conservative moderators catching up when counting the votes.

The party of chairman Ulf Kristersson is currently valued at 18.7 percent.

Three quarters of an hour ago, the moderators were still at 17.7 percent.

At the same time, the left lost 0.8 percentage points in the same period.

At the moment, a good 3,000 districts have been counted - and thus about half of the votes.

Excitement about Islamic party in Sweden election: Unexpectedly high results in some constituencies

Update from September 11, 10:25 p.m .:

Largely unnoticed by the media, a partly Islamist-oriented party apparently got some unexpectedly high results in the Swedish parliamentary elections.

In the center of the Stockholm suburb of Akalla, which is mostly inhabited by immigrants, the "other parties" received 11.3 percent of the votes, as

reports online.

TV4's political commentator, Marcus Oscarsson, attributed this not least to Nyan's party.

Oscarsson explained that Nyans uses religious arguments in several areas and is suspected of promoting an Islamist agenda.

If many votes go to parties not covered by opinion polls, this could have a decisive impact on the election result, he emphasized.

However, the other parties nationwide are currently only 1.7 percent.

Figures from some major cities such as Malmö are still pending.

However, Nyans' Mikail Yüksel had attracted attention in the run-up to the election in Turkey: he supported the extradition demands of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdigan in the NATO dispute with Sweden - which earned him a report from Ankara's foreign broadcaster TRTinternational.

Sweden election 2022: Result sharpens - Andersson's camp on the way to victory?

Update from September 11, 9:55 p.m .:

Now the picture of the outcome of the Sweden election is sharpening.

After counting 1549 of the 6578 constituencies, the interim results are closer to the forecasts.

The most important finding is probably that the left camp is noticeably ahead – despite the fact that the right-leaning Liberals are now above the four percent hurdle again.

The broadcaster SVT is currently calculating 177 mandates for Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's parties.

According to the current state of affairs, the right-wing parties have 172 mandates.

Update from September 11th, 9:40 p.m.:

Is the outcome of the election a victory for the left camp in Sweden?

The political journalist Mattias Knutson is skeptical in a TV analysis.

The commentator for the newspaper Expressen points out that the apparently victorious Social Democrats had also massively changed their rhetoric in the election campaign: Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, for example, declared in the debate about gang violence and "exposed" neighborhoods that the country didn't want any "Chinatowns", "Little Italys" or "Somalitowns".

Update from September 11, 9:35 p.m .:

A curious side note from the Swedish election evening: in the center of the capital Stockholm, of all places, voters are apparently still queuing in front of a polling station to cast their vote.

According to a report by

, it could take up to 11pm for all citizens to get to the polls.

Sweden election: turbulence in the first "real" results - right-wing populists defeated despite gain?

Update from September 11, 9:15 p.m .:

Sweden’s public television has now published the first data on polling districts that have already been counted – however, the broadcaster SVT does not work with a projection based on the German model, but with cumulative numbers of the available results.

The data should therefore be treated with great caution.

After counting 190 of the 6,578 constituencies, the Social Democrats are ahead with 30.4 percent.

At 22.4 percent, the Sweden Democrats are at a slightly higher level than in the first forecast.

According to this data, the conservative moderators have lost massively so far - to only 15.4 percent.

The Liberals are currently below the four percent hurdle.

This would probably mean that the right-wing camp would lose its chances of power.

Sweden election 2022: Social Democrats hope - right-wing populists are already appealing to the conservative camp

Update from September 11, 9:08 p.m

.: The first reactions from the Swedish parties are available.

The governing Social Democrats were cautiously optimistic given the narrow lead for the left part of the party spectrum.

"It would be an enormous success if, after two terms in government, we were able to succeed a third time," said party secretary-general Tobias Baudin, according to the daily

.

Despite significant gains, “mixed feelings” prevailed among the Sweden Democrats.

According to the report, party executive Mattias Karlsson admitted disappointment.

He hoped that the alliance would continue even if the right-wing camp lost the election: "I believe that the ambition of everyone involved was not a short-term election project, but something that will endure over time."

Update from September 11, 8:46 p.m .:

Sweden is still waiting for the first projections for the nationwide election outcome.

However, a forecast by the broadcaster TV4 sees a clearer result than that of the public service competitor SVT: Here the four left-wing parties get 50.6 percent of the votes and the four parties of the right-wing camp 48 percent.

However, an initial voter migration analysis by SVT shows that the Sweden Democrats in 2022 were primarily able to win votes from conservative moderators, but also from the Social Democrats.

Sweden election: nail-biter threatens – all eyes are on the right-wing populists and the camp fight

Update from September 11, 8:25 p.m .:

The interpretation of the election result should keep Sweden busy for some time.

The first, still shaky, forecasts show two winners: Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats will increase slightly and remain the strongest force.

At the same time, however, a constellation that was unimaginable for a long time has arisen – the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats have even gained three percentage points and are very likely to become the second strongest force.

In the next few hours, however, the look at the distribution of mandates between the left and the right party camp should remain exciting.

In the first forecast, the Social Democrats and their possible cooperation partners from the Greens, Center and Left are 0.6 percentage points ahead.

However, finding a majority is difficult.

There are massive reservations between the left and the center, for example.

As things stand, the Greens can also be among the winners, gaining 1.4 percentage points.

The other parties have lost across the board.

Both Center Party (-0.9 points) and Left (-1.0) on the left to center spectrum, as well as Moderates (-1.0), Christian Democrats (-1.1) and Liberals (-0.8) on the right Side.

You can find an overview of the role and importance of Swedish parties in this article.

Sweden election: First forecast there – right-wing populists score, but will probably miss power

Update from September 11, 8 p.m.:

After the problems with voting in Sweden, at least most of the polling stations have now closed.

An initial forecast by the public broadcaster SVT, the post-election polls show a victory for Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats (plus 1 percent).

According to the forecast, the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats actually land in second place, gaining three percent.

A heavy blow for the conservative moderators.

According to these numbers, the majority is on the left: 176 to 173 mandates, according to the broadcaster's first estimate.

However, similar to German elections, postponements are still possible.

Extrapolations in less than an hour will probably bring greater clarity.

Election chaos in Sweden: Citizens "pissed off" - the latest surveys show the extent of the nerve crime

Update from September 11, 7:00 p.m

.: The tricky Sweden election is currently being overshadowed by problems with voting: According to a report in the newspaper

, there are not only long queues in front of the polling stations in many parts of the country - but also criticism from the administration.

Eva Debels, head of the elections office in Stockholm, attributes the problems to a new law that requires voting behind screens.

"The legislature" had been warned in advance about the formation of queues, she said to

.

The expected result has now occurred.

The broadcaster SVT reported on disgruntled voters who - at least for the time being - returned home without having achieved anything.

"I'm pissed off," the channel quoted a citizen from Södertälje near Stockholm.

In Söderhamn in central Sweden, two voters also fainted, probably also because of the "heat".

An election worker told the broadcaster that the polling station might have to stay open until 10 p.m.

Possibly only then, two hours after the official closing of the polling stations, would all those present have cast their votes.

Meanwhile, a look at the latest polls shows the extent of the expected election crime.

A survey by the Demoskop institute commissioned by the

tabloid shortly before election day saw the left-wing camp made up of Social Democrats, Greens, Left and Center at 49.6 percent, the right-wing camp of Moderates, Sweden and Christian Democrats and Liberals at 49.4 percent of the voters Voices.

According to pollster Karin Nelsson, it is not yet certain that the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats will overtake the conservative moderators: "There is a lot of movement, especially between Sweden Democrats, Christian Democrats and moderators," she emphasized.

The result of this Sunday question at a glance:

Legend: S = Social Democrats, C = Centre, MP = Greens, V = Left // M = Moderate, SD = Sweden Democrats, KD = Christian Democrats, L = Liberals

Sweden chooses: Polls indicate crime – even the prime minister has been waiting for a long time to vote

Update from September 11, 4:10 p.m .:

The Sweden election turns into a kind of political thriller – under quite delicate circumstances: For the first time, the party of the Sweden Democrats, which was once dominated by Nazis and fascists, could become the second strongest force.

At the same time, the left and right camps are struggling for the majority, according to the forecasts.

In this starting position, the interest of the voters is obviously great.

According to a report by the broadcaster SVT, there were sometimes long queues in front of the polling stations in the major cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Uppsala.

According to her own statements, the Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson also had to wait “a good hour” to vote.

Right-wing populist leader Jimmie Åkesson changed the polling station at short notice.

The electoral authorities assured all citizens that anyone who had queued by 8 p.m. could still cast their vote.

According to an SVT election reporter, a more stable election result could also emerge under these circumstances around 9:15 p.m.

Sweden election today: Andersson rules out common cause with right-wing populists

Update vom 11. September, 13.06 Uhr: Schweden wählt ein neues Parlament: Um 8 Uhr öffneten die Wahllokale, rund 7,5 Millionen Bürger des skandinavischen Landes sind zur Stimmenabgabe aufgerufen. Schwedens Ministerpräsidentin Andersson hat in Stockholm bereits ihre Stimme abgegeben. Zuvor hatte die Sozialdemokratin vor Reportern betont, bereit zur Zusammenarbeit mit allen Parteien zu sein - außer mit den Rechtspopulisten der Schwedendemokraten (SD).

Sie sei sehr enttäuscht, dass sich andere Parteien in der Hinsicht anders entschieden hätten, sagte Andersson laut dem schwedischen Rundfunk. Umfragen zur Schweden-Wahl sehen ihr linksgerichtetes Lager und einen konservativ-rechten Block einschließlich der Schwedendemokraten beinahe gleichauf. Die Wahllokale sind noch bis 20.00 Uhr geöffnet, im Anschluss werden erste Prognosen erwartet. 

Schweden wählt: Rechtspopulisten wollen Platz in der Regierung notfalls „erzwingen“

Vorabmeldung: München/Stockholm – Nach vier politisch turbulenten Jahren wählt Schweden ein neues Parlament. Der Urnengang an diesem Sonntag (11. September) steht unter besonderen Vorzeichen. Nicht nur der Nato-Beitritt war für Stockholm ein Bruch mit dem jahrzehntelang gewohnten – die Umfragen sahen vor dem Termin auch die Rechtspopulisten der Schwedendemokraten (SD) in ungekannten Höhen. Das könnte die Regierungsbildung einmal mehr erschweren. Oder den Rechten sogar einen Platz im Kabinett ermöglichen.

Schweden-Wahl 2022: Umfragen sehen Anderssons Sozialdemokraten vorne – Rechtspopulisten wollen ins Kabinett

Die meisten Stimmen erhalten dürften gleichwohl einmal mehr die Sozialdemokraten von Ministerpräsidentin Magdalena Andersson. Das „Wählerbarometer“ des Senders SVT sah die Regierungspartei am Freitag bei 30,3 Prozent. Doch dahinter folgen in den Sonntagsfragen nicht etwa wie zuletzt meist die konservativen „Moderater“. Sondern eben die „Sverigedemokrater“ von Parteichef Jimmie Åkesson mit mehr als 20 Prozent Zuspruch. Die Partei war in den 1980ern nach ihrer Gründung nicht zuletzt ein Sammelbecken für Nazis und Faschisten, gibt sich unter Åkesson aber deutlich gemäßigter.

Und anders als früher könnten die Rechtspopulisten auch an der Macht beteiligt werden. Der konservative Block im Parlament – bestehend aus Moderater, Liberalen und Christdemokraten – will Andersson beerben. Dafür sind die Parteien erstmals auch zu einer Kooperation mit den SD bereit. Zumindest die Konservativen würden dazu wohl auch mit den – noch 2018 unter erheblichen Bemühungen praktisch aller Parteien – aus der Mehrheitsfindung ausgegrenzten Populisten koalieren.

Åkesson will nun offenbar aufs Ganze gehen: Der Tageszeitung Svenska Dagbladet sagte er zuletzt, man könne Moderater-Chef Ulf Kristersson notfalls auch gegen den erklärten Willen der anderen beteiligten Parteien „zwingen“, einen Platz in der Regierung einzuräumen: „Wir werden einen Platz in der Regierung verlangen, wenn es einen Machtwechsel gibt“, betonte Åkesson. Rein dem Protokoll nach wären die SD als mutmaßlich stärkste Kraft im Lager rechts der Mitte ohnehin erster Ansprechpartner für eine Regierungsbildung, wie die Politikwissenschaftlerin Li Bennich-Björkman Merkur.de erklärte. Möglich sei allerdings, dass der Parlamentssprecher sich dennoch an Kristersson wendet.

Schweden debattiert Kriminalitäts-Problem: Enges Rennen zwischen linkem und rechtem Parteienblock

Eine heikle Ausgangslage also. Die Themen Nato-Beitritt und Ukraine-Krieg spielten dabei laut Bennich-Björkman gar keine allzu große Rolle im Wahlkampf. Ebenso wenig wie das Ringen mit der Türkei um die Auslieferung kurdischer Menschen. Ein dominierendes Thema ist hingegen Kriminalität und innere Sicherheit. Gewalttätige Banden in Großstädten wie Stockholm, Göteborg und Malmö; Schießereien, bei denen mitunter auch Unbeteiligte zu Zufallsopfern werden, sorgen teils für Verunsicherung und Angst im Land. Auch die regierenden Sozialdemokraten versprechen Verbesserungen. Thema waren zugleich hohe Strompreise.

Letztlich dürfte sich der künftige Kurs anhand weniger Prozentpunkte entscheiden. Und womöglich an einem „unsicheren Kantonisten“. Das SVT-„Wählerbarometer“ sah das eher linke Lager um Sozialdemokraten, Linke, Grüne und die Centerparti am Freitag bei 49,7 Prozent. Der „Rechtsblock“ aus Moderater, Liberalen, Christ- und Schwedendemokraten lag bei 49,4 Prozent. Die Centerparti hatte aber noch in den 10er-Jahren eine konservative Regierung mitgetragen. Und völlig offen scheint, ob sich die Partei der Vorsitzenden Annie Lööf mit den Linken an einen Tisch setzen würde.

At the end of the election evening in Sweden, there could be highly complex negotiations - and yet again a minority government, as in the previous election period.

On either side.

Polling stations close at 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Then there could be clarity.
