The “Left Party” and the “Center Party” have two mandates. The Christian Democrats and Liberals get two seats each.

⠀
The Green Party and the Left Party improved their positions compared to the EP elections in 2019, gaining one more seat each. The Christian Democrats lost one mandate compared to the 2019 elections.

This election was a “historic failure” for the Sweden Democrats. The drop in ratings is exlplained by the fact that the central theme of the party’s election campaign was migration, which is not such an important issue for voters.
