Voters in Sweden have been casting their ballots in a general election. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, who is also leader of the ruling Social Democrats voted in the capital Stockholm. He urged the country to vote for a 'stable government, capable of leading Sweden in uncertain times'. The elections are the first since the government took in more than 160-thousand migrants from the Middle East and Africa in 2015.
