1928 Swedish general election

Election

General elections were held in Sweden between 15 and 21 September 1928.[1] The Swedish Social Democratic Party remained the largest party, winning 90 of the 230 seats in the Andra kammaren of the Riksdag.[2] Arvid Lindman of the General Electoral League became Prime Minister, replacing the incumbent, Carl Gustaf Ekman of the Free-minded National Association. The elections have since become known as the "Cossack Election" due to the harsh tone and aggressive criticism used by both sides.
