Swedish PM, Magdalena Andersson resigns as her centre-left party loses to the far-right

The country’s election was neck and neck, but the postal votes cemented the victory for a coalition of Sweden’s Democrats and three centre-right parties.

The right bloc is edged ahead with a majority of three in the parliament of 349 seats.

The right wing bloc vows to “make Sweden safe again” by implementing tougher prison sentences and limiting immigration.

Outgoing leader Andersson says it was a “narrow majority, but a majority nonetheless”.

The speaker will take on Prime Ministerial duties, until the new leader is announced. The moderate party leader, Ulf Kristersson, is expected to form a Government.
