After eight years as party leader, Jonas Sjöstedt will resign at the Left Party congress at the end of October. After that, Sjöstedt will move to Vietnam, where his wife Ann Måwe works as an ambassador.
On Monday, the Left Party nominating committee presented deputy party leader Nooshi Dadgostar, 35, as its proposal for a new party leader. In connection with the appointment, he made a short speech.
– In recent years, we have become a bigger and broader party, and this is a development that I want to continue leading, says Dadgostar.
– More people should be able to trust us, that we can create jobs and development throughout Sweden. That we can both grow the economy, create more jobs, and invest in wellness. That we have the policy to adapt to the climate.
“It will happen to M and KD”
Nooshi Dadgostar is currently alone in the running for a new party leader, and several V heavyweight politicians have joined her.
So far, she has had time to profile herself through a proposal to halt the reduction proposed by the government and cooperation parties in the employer contribution for youth in the fall budget.
– We will turn to the moderates and the Christian Democrats, he said last week.
Dadgostar grew up in Hisingen in Gothenburg and was previously vice president of the Young Left and a member of the municipal council of Botkyrka on the outskirts of Stockholm. He became a member of parliament in 2014 and, among other things, has been the party’s spokesperson on social security issues.
