Mikael Andersson Elfgren, the incumbent Moderates chair of Region Västmanland’s regional board since 2022, leads a minority coalition of Moderates, Christian Democrats and Liberals with technical support from the Sweden Democrats. The September 13, 2026 regional election produced tight results, with Social Democrats posting modest local gains while overall bloc balances remain sensitive to whether the Greens clear the four-percent threshold. Traders assign Elfgren the highest implied probability because the current governing arrangement is viewed as the most likely to hold a working majority in the new regional council and re-elect its sitting chair. Opposition candidate Kenneth Östberg trails sharply, reflecting Social Democratic positioning as the main alternative but lower odds of securing the necessary cross-bloc support. Resolution hinges on formal council election of the chair following final seat allocation.
