V politicians consider leave after suspicion of election fraud

- He has reported that he will not attend the roll call on Monday. In connection with that, he has announced that he is considering applying for leave, says Linda Utterberg, chamber secretary at the Riksdag administration to SVT.

In an email to the Riksdag, Mohamed Abdukardir Ali (V) has asked to make a leave application, reports SVT.

It is about two weeks off for personal reasons based on the situation, according to the email.

"It would feel better if I could officially be off while waiting for notification from the police authority and other efforts so that I can start my work when the case is officially closed", writes Mohamed Abdukardir Ali (V) according to SVT.

Mohamed Abdukardir Ali (V) has since earlier this week taken a "timeout" due to the suspicion of electoral fraud. This means that he does not participate in the work of the Riksdag. A "timeout" is not an approved absence, which means that the party cannot bring in a substitute, writes Expressen.

The red-green parties lack a mandate unless Mohamed Abdukardir Ali (V) participates.
