Sweden: Uncertain legislative elections between left and far right
Sunday's election will determine whether Sweden will see a return of the left to power or an unprecedented entry of the far right into government, according to France 24.
Swedish voters head to the polls on Sunday, September 13, for legislative elections whose outcome remains uncertain, France 24 reports.
According to the outlet, the campaign proved to be particularly competitive, with positions tightening in the final days before the vote.
Two main scenarios are taking shape following this election, according to France 24: a return of the left to power, or conversely a breakthrough by the far right that could for the first time join the government.
The election results will be known at the end of Sunday, the source notes.
