Swedes vote in an election pitting incumbent centre-left Social Democrats against a right-wing bloc that has embraced anti-immigration Sweden Democrats
Gathering economic storm clouds as households and companies face sky-high power prices may boost Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson.
Andersson was finance minister for many years before becoming Sweden's first female prime minister a year ago. Her main rival is Moderates' leader Ulf Kristersson, who sees himself as the only one who can unite the right and unseat her. Kristersson has spent years deepening ties with the Sweden Democrats, an anti-immigration party with white supremacists among its founders.
For many centre-left voters - and even some on the right - the prospect of Sweden Democrats having a say on government policy or joining the cabinet remains deeply unsettling, and the election is seen in part as a referendum over whether to give them that power.
