Swedes go to the polls today in a head-to-head election, with the ruling centre-left Social Democrats facing off against conservative parties.

The picture is similar in other recent polls. In a poll by the state-run SVT network, Andersson’s bloc garnered 49.7%, while her opponent, Ulf Kristerson, got 49.4%.
In a gallop by the newspaper Dagens Nyheter, Anderson’s faction is at 50% and Christerson’s at 48.2%. If no clear winner emerges, the parties will begin complex consultations to form a government, led by either Anderson or Christerson, a political veteran who leads the Moderates party.
