Sweden’s centre-left leads by three seats with almost all votes counted.
Sweden's centre-left opposition is narrowly ahead of the governing right-wing bloc, with 94.4% of votes counted.
The opposition has 176 seats in the 349-seat parliament against 173 for the coalition led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
How the parties did
Social Democrats (Magdalena Andersson): 28.1%, their worst result in more than a century, but still the largest single party
Sweden Democrats (Jimmie Akesson): 17.6%, down from 20.5% in 2022
Moderates (Kristersson): largest party on the right
Andersson said the opposition was "leading the count" and that Sweden would get a new government if the result holds. Postal ballots are counted from Wednesday, with a final tally expected by the end of the week.
