Dadgostar's first words about the election fraud investigation in Borlänge

On Monday, it was revealed that there are suspicions of election fraud in Borlänge. The V-dolldis Mohamed Abdukardir Ali entered the Riksdag via personal cross - and it is in connection with this that suspected election fraud is being investigated. Three people are suspected in the case - but no one has been served with suspicion so far.

Since the information that there is an ongoing police investigation became known, V leader Nooshi Dadgostar has not said anything about the case. But on Thursday, she broke her silence.

- These are serious allegations and they need to be sorted out. So now the police investigation needs peace and quiet to get to the bottom of what actually happened. It is important that the people of Borlänge and all Swedes feel secure that the elections will be fair, she tells DN.

How do these suspicions affect the party?

- It can affect trust in the electoral system and that is why it is so important that it is clarified what has actually happened and that you can work on it in peace and quiet.

Nooshi Dadgostar says that her own silence is due to the fact that the party had to look at the facts and hold a dialogue with the people involved.

- There are people involved. We do not have the opportunity to go on media tasks and therefore also landed now in the agreement we have where this person can take time out during the period when the police investigation continues.

What do you know today about the case - which is not media information?

- We don't know more than what the media knows right now. We think it is important that those investigating it have the peace of mind to do so.

Nooshi Dadgostar does not want to comment on the dialogue between the party and Mohamed Abdukardir Ali.

- There are a lot of rumors about these dialogues that we have had. What we have ended up with is that he is now taking a timeout during the period when the investigation continues.

Have you tried to get him to leave his parliamentary seat?

- I will not comment on any of the rumors that are many and extensive in this.

At the same time as the investigation into suspected election fraud is ongoing, S-leader Magdalena Andersson has been given a probe mission by Speaker Andreas Norlén to see if she has the opportunity to form a government. Up until now, the Left Party's demand for supporting the S leader has been that V must sit in a government they support.

Nooshi Dadgostar says she wants to "keep to herself right now" how the negotiations are going.

- I have many contacts with various party leaders.

Is your demand to sit in a government that you firmly support?

- Yes, of course. The Left Party got an absolutely fantastic election result. We have over half a million Swedes behind us in these negotiations, says the V leader.
