Election night saw celebrations across many parties as SVT's exit poll results were announced.
Nearly all parties felt like winners, except for the Sweden Democrats (SD), who faced their first potential decline.
Jubilant scenes unfolded as the Social Democrats reversed their decline, and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson praised voters’ appreciation for his party’s focus on key issues.
While the Liberals breathed a sigh of relief as they avoided losing their parliamentary seat, SD Leader Jimmie Åkesson quietly exited without addressing the media.
