Sweden’s Andersson Set to Return as PM After Narrow Election Win

The result paves the way for Andersson to return as prime minister, though coalition negotiations are expected to be complex. The election signals a change of government after four years of centre-right rule and could reshape Sweden’s approach to welfare, immigration and European policy.
