Sweden is holding a general election on Sunday that will either result in the center-left opposition returning to power after four years or see the far right enter government for the first time.
Opinion polls in the run-up to the election have been predicting an easy win for the left-wing alliance over the right-wing group led by incumbent Ulf Kristersson, which includes the far-right party Sweden Democrats.
But the four-party opposition alliance, led by former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, the head of the center-left Social Democrats, has seen that lead narrow as election day has neared.
"We all knew it was going to be a very close election; I've said that all along," Andersson, the first woman to serve as Swedish Prime Minister in 2021-2022, told a rally in the Swedish capital Saturday.
"Now it's up to voters: do they want a government that will be totally dominated by the Sweden Democrats, or do they want a government led by me?"Kristersson's right-wing group has surged in the polls in recent weeksImage: Pontus Lundahl/TT Nyhetsbyrån/picture alliance
