Why It Matters
Mohamed Abdukardir Ali has unexpectedly been crossed into the Riksdag for the Left Party from Borlänge.
The V politician Mohamed Abdukardir Ali from Borlänge was unexpectedly crossed into the Riksdag. The incident has received a lot of attention because the police are investigating suspected election fraud.
Ali himself is not suspected of crime and has told SVT that he did not commit any crime.
On Wednesday, several high-profile members of parliament from V will be in parliament. However, they are not particularly eager to answer SVT's questions.
- Not now anyway, says Jonas Lindberg, member of V's executive committee.
Nor does Ilyas Hassan, also a member of the party's VU, want to give any answer to SVT.
The leadership of the Left Party did not want to give an interview, but on Tuesday the party secretary Maria Forsberg announced that Mohamed Abdukardir Ali is taking a "time out" from Riksdag work. This without clarifying what it actually means.
"This is about extremely serious allegations against everyone involved. If we can assist the investigation in any way, we will do so. I cannot emphasize enough that we take this very seriously and we welcome that this is now being investigated," she told SVT in a written comment.
Open Questions
- What does time out mean in practice?
- What does the police investigation show about the suspected election fraud?
