Sweden's centre-left opposition has won the country's parliamentary election, according to public broadcaster SVT, defeating the incumbent right-wing governing bloc by a narrow margin.
SVT made the announcement on Wednesday after 99% of the votes cast in Sunday's election had been counted, the broadcaster said.
The result marks a shift in Sweden's political leadership, with the centre-left bloc reported to have edged out the right-wing coalition that had been governing the country.
Details of the final seat allocation and the parties involved in the incoming coalition were not immediately specified in the initial report.
France 24 correspondent Paul Rhys reported on the developments as vote counting neared completion.
Further official confirmation of the results and information on the formation of a new government were awaited following SVT's announcement.
