With about 95 percent of votes counted, Sweden's opposition bloc holds a narrow lead in a tightly contested general election, according to Al Jazeera.
Sweden's general election remained too close to call on Tuesday, with the opposition bloc leading in vote counts as support for the far right appeared to decline, Al Jazeera reported.

Al Jazeera reported that the far-right party lost ground compared with previous results, though the report did not specify the exact margin of decline or provide detailed breakdowns of party-by-party results.
The source did not identify the specific parties composing the opposition bloc or the governing coalition, nor did it provide further detail on turnout, regional variations, or reactions from party leaders. Further official results and formal declarations are expected as counting concludes.
