It has been a long day and it is time for for me to head off and hand the live blog over.

Sweden faces a protracted period of political uncertainty after an election that left the two main parliamentary blocs tied but well short of a majority, and the far-right Sweden Democrats promising to wield “real influence” in parliament after making more modest gains than many had predicted, writes the Guardian’s Jon Henley from Stockholm.

With over 99% of votes counted, this is how it stands.

Social Democrats - 28.4%



Moderates - 19.8%

Sweden Democrats - 17.6%

Centre Party - 8.6%

Left Party - 7.9%

Christian Democrats - 6.4%

Liberal Party - 5.5%

Green Party - 4.3%
