Swedish general election, 1976
General elections
were held in
Sweden
on 19 September 1976. Although the
Swedish Social Democratic Party
remained the largest party, winning 152 of the 349 seats in the
Riksdag
, a
coalition government
was formed with the
Centre Party
, the
People's Party
and the
conservative
Moderate Party
, which formed Sweden's first non-socialist government since 1936. Centre Party leader
Thorbjörn Fälldin
, who had widely been expected to take over the government in
the previous election of 1973
(which turned out to bring a 175-175 draw between the left and right blocs), was appointed Prime Minister, the first not from the
Swedish Social Democratic Party
since
Axel Pehrsson-Bramstorp
's brief interregnum 40 years earlier.
