The Green Party emerged as the frontrunner in Stockholm's EU elections, securing nearly 20.5% of the votes.
This is a significant rise from their national figure of 13.8%.
Meanwhile, traditional parties like the Social Democrats also gained ground, but the Center Party, Christian Democrats, Sweden Democrats, and Moderates saw declines.
Political analysts attribute the Green Party's success to strong voter emphasis on climate policies.
Notably, the Greens performed exceptionally well in districts like Skarpnäck, while the Moderates retained dominance in Östermalm.
