Left Wins Sweden Vote, Far-Right Party Makes Gains: Exit Poll

Stockholm: Voting for Sweden's parliament ended Sunday at 1800 GMT with an exit poll suggesting a win for a Social Democrat-led left-green trio of parties and a major gain for the far-right Sweden Democrats.

The Social Democrat-led group was tipped to get 44.8 percent of the votes, according to the exit poll by public broadcaster SVT, while the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats were seen garnering 10.5 percent, up from 5.7 percent in the last election four years ago.
