Totally, 12,950 people came and listened to the party leaders' speeches during this year's Almedalen Week. Which is an increase of around 2,000 people compared to last year's edition. But the figure is low compared to 2022 when the speeches attracted 19,000 people.

The biggest difference compared to last year was the 2,000 people who listened to the Sweden Democrats' leader Jimmie Åkesson, compared to 300 last year. Also, the Center Party's speech was attended by significantly more people this year – 1,600 people compared to 800 last year.

The fewest listeners had The Liberals' party leader Johan Persson, who held the final speech this year with 350 people in the audience.

The other parties were at a similar level as last year. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party) drew the most listeners this year – 3,500 people, an increase of 500 people from last year.

The number of listeners in Almedalen Park is affected, among other things, by which day of the week the party leaders speak. It changes from year to year.

Sweden Democrats 2,000 (300 people last year)

Center Party 1,600 (800)

The Moderate Party 3,500 (3000)

Social Democrats 3,300 (3500)

Green Party 900 (900)

Left Party 600 (700)

Christian Democrats 700 (500)

The Liberals 350 (400)

Total: 12,950 people
