The number of seats rose from 71 to 79.[4] This meant that both the
Social Democrats and the
Moderates kept their seat numbers in spite of their vote and seat share falling sizeably. The Social Democrats fell the most, going from 33.3% to 28.7%.[1] The local party
Vård för pengarna ended up becoming the largest party in both coastal municipalities of
Nyköping and
Oxelösund. This was the first time any other party than the Social Democrats had topped the poll in Oxelösund in any election since the location's founding. Even so, commanding vote leads in the interior and in the largest town
Eskilstuna led to the Social Democrats being the largest party.[1] The
Sweden Democrats gained 13.1% of the popular vote in a large numerical rise, rendering four parties gaining about 4/5 of the seats as the
Green Party lost all their four seats.[4]
