The centre-left won a narrow majority of 176 seats to the incumbent right bloc's 173 seats, in a vote widely seen as a referendum on outgoing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's promise to form a coalition with the far-right Sweden Democrats.

Swedish Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson says she cannot form a government after her centre-left bloc won a narrow majority in last month's general election.
One of the bloc's three parties announced over the weekend it would back a parliament speaker candidate from the rival Moderate Party, which Ms Andersson says undercut her attempt to form government.
The speaker of parliament is expected to task another leader, likely the outgoing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, with forming a new government.
The centre-left won a narrow majority of 176 seats to the incumbent right bloc's 173 seats, in a vote widely seen as a referendum on outgoing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's promise to form a coalition with the far-right Sweden Democrats.
Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist has refused to be a part of or support any government that gives influence to the parties on the far left or the far right.
