Exit polls from Sunday's Swedish general election project the four-party left-wing bloc at 51.3 percent of the vote, ahead of the right's 46.8 percent.
- Exit polls by broadcasters SVT and TV4 projected the left-wing bloc at 51.3 percent against 46.8 percent for the right-wing alliance.
- Voting closed at 18:00 GMT Sunday and official counting was under way, with early results expected from the Swedish Election Authority within hours.
- Andersson said voters faced a choice between a government "entirely dominated by the Sweden Democrats" and one she would lead in a co-operative spirit.
- Kristersson announced in April that his Moderates would bring the Sweden Democrats into a governing coalition if the right secured a majority.
