The Left Party made significant gains in the EU elections, securing an additional mandate, particularly dominating in Västerbotten.

This success is attributed to the "Sjöstedt effect," with Jonas Sjöstedt being the only top candidate from northern Sweden.

In Malå, the party saw a 21.6 percentage point increase, capturing 35.9% of the votes.

The election results underscored the popularity of Sjöstedt, contrasting with the Christian Democrats' loss under Alice Teodorescu Måwe.
