Center-left party leads in Swedish general election, possibility of government change

[London Current Affairs] A general election was held on the 13th in Sweden, a northern European country, to mark the expiration of the term of office (unicameral, 349 seats), and votes were counted on the same day. With over 90% of votes counted, the center-left opposition camp has a narrow lead over the right-wing ruling party camp, which could lead to a change of government for the first time in four years. The right-wing camp has seen sluggish growth as far-right parties with anti-immigration policies have stalled.
