Andersson rallies in Stockholm, warns voters about Kristersson and the SD
Social Democratic leader Andersson campaigned in Liljeholmen with singer Thomas Stenström, urging voters to choose her over a government led by the Sweden Democrats.
During a campaign stop in Stockholm's Liljeholmen district, Andersson joined musician Thomas Stenström to appeal to undecided voters. Recent polls show the opposition's lead narrowing, and Andersson warned that the election could produce a government dominated by the Sweden Democrats. She challenged Prime Minister-candidate Ulf Kristersson to address issues she says he avoids, framing the choice as a decision about Sweden's future direction.
Why it matters
The campaign highlights the pivotal choice Swedish voters face between a centrist government and one dominated by the far-right Sweden Democrats.
