Sweden's Social Democratic Party has won the country's general election, according to exit polls reported by LaSexta on Sunday. The Spanish broadcaster said the result points to a shift to the left for the Nordic country.
LaSexta reported that the centre-left opposition bloc is set to take the election, with the Social Democrats leading the field. Other Spanish outlets, including EL PAÍS, ABC, El Mundo and La Voz de Galicia, carried the same projection based on the exit polls.
The Social Democratic leader, Andersson, was named by La Voz de Galicia as the winner of the vote. The reports describe the outcome as a victory for the centre-left opposition, which would move Sweden away from its outgoing government.
The projections cited by the Spanish press are based on exit polls rather than the final count. No further details on seat totals, turnout or the composition of the next government were available in the reporting.
What to watch next: official results and the final distribution of seats, which will confirm whether the centre-left bloc can form a government.
