Sweden opposition holds slender lead in tight election, projection shows a

Sweden's national election was too close to call early Monday, with preliminary results giving the left-wing opposition a razor-thin one-seat advantage over Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's right wing coalition and days of uncertainty until the final ballots are counted.Preliminary results showed a very narrow lead for the opposition and former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's bid to return to office at the head of the left coalition. But Kristersson also said he would explore "possibilities" given the close result.With 92 per cent of the vote counted early Monday, the Swedish Election Authority reported the four opposition parties were heading for 175 seats in the 349-seat parliament to 174 seats for the government alliance.The outcome of the election may not be decided until Wednesday, when local election boards count early votes that did not make it to the polling stations by Election Day.
