Swedish elections are coming up and I thought I would summarize our candidates. As most of you know Sweden is the country where Assyrians have succeeded most, having two Swedish Assyrian parliamentarians along with being the most integrated non-Nordic ethnicity in the country. Many many Swedish Assyrians will run for the municipality or parliament (including me) but I will here give a brief presentation of the most important ones, but there are seriously so many candidating that I can never take present them all.
Yilmaz Kerimo
He is a graduate from a University of Social Work and Public Administration and has lobbied very hard for our people regarding human rights, the Seyfo Genocide, autonomy/self-rule etc. Without him we would not have seen a recognition of the Assyrian Genocide in Sweden, that is certain. He is a member of the Socialdemocrats.
Ibrahim Baylan
Has also got a University degree and is considered to be the most powerful immigrant in politics. He is currently the party secretary of the Socialdemocrats, being the biggest party in Sweden and if his party wins and e.g. the prime minister decides to step down, he is the man to become the next prime minister. He has lobbied with Kerimo regarding the recognition of Seyfo.
Ninos Maraha
He has a Master's Degree in Business and Economics. He is already in the municipality council of S?dert?lje and is running for the municipality, parliament and county council. Has showed his will to support his people before and this candidate is 2nd on his party's list to the municipal council and 31th to parliament in the People's Party's list. He is the one to the left on the attached image.
Sait Yildiz
He has also got a University Degree even though coming to this country very late and is or was the head of the Assyrian Association in Sweden. He is already in the municipality council and is candidating for the municipality and I believe parliament too. He is 7th on his party's list and has worked for the Assyrian nation his entire life. He is a member of the Left party.
Metin Hawsho
Metin is a teacher and is the Vice President of the People's Party in the municipality of S?dert?lje. He is 37 years old and is candidating for the parliament and municipal council. He's 11th on his party's list for parliament and 4th for the municipal council.
