Right-wing parties win Swedish election

A four-party opposition coalition led by the Moderate Party’s Ulf Kristersson has won the general election in Sweden after Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson conceded defeat on Wednesday.

With just a handful of votes remaining to be counted four days after Sunday’s close-call vote, the right-wing parties are expected to win 176 seats to the left-wing’s 173, according to the country's election authority.
