Compared with the last election in 2022, the Moderate Party's support has increased in the municipality, from approximately 44.4 percent to this year's preliminary figures of 52.9 percent.
The party has governed together with the Sweden Democrats for the past two terms. Christian Sonesson does not rule out that the cooperation will continue.
It is a collaboration that has worked well for eight years, he tells TT.
Even though the Moderates have been the largest party in the municipality for a long time, the election results come as a surprise to the party leadership.
"I didn't think it would go this well," says Christian Sonesson.
