The Social Democrats remained the largest party, winning 111 of the 231 seats in the Second Chamber of the Riksdag,^[2] and Tage Erlander's third government was returned to power. In accordance with the law, the new Chamber was elected only to complete the previous Chamber's term, which was due to end in 1960.
