Voting under way in Sweden with far right eyeing first role in government
Party with neo-Nazi roots is in line for key ministerial positions if rightwing bloc wins the election
Voting is under way in Sweden in a high-stakes election that could lead to the far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) entering government for the first time.
It comes after an unusually heated and polarised campaign punctuated by personal attacks between leaders, accusations of misinformation and Maga-inspired ads. Polls suggest an extremely tight race, with one showing just 0.3 percentage points between the left and right blocs.
