- Kristersson seeks a new term as Swedish PM while lobbying for continued backing of his coalition's partnership with the far right
- Sweden enters the final stretch before a key election, with multicultural Malmo — described by Al Jazeera as "loathed" by the far right — bracing for the vote
- Sweden's PM channels Trump-style rhetoric in his campaign messaging, according to coverage of the race
