Swedish authorities are investigating suspected election fraud surrounding the election of Mohamed Abdukardir Ali, who just got his Swedish citizenship in February, and Ahmed Abas Omar, both Somali-born candidates for Sweden’s far-left Left Party who unexpectedly won enough personal votes to enter the Swedish Parliament and Borlänge Municipal Council respectively.
Ali was only ninth on the Left Party’s electoral list in Dalarna, a region in central Sweden, but received 648 personal votes, allowing him to leapfrog the party’s No. 1 candidate, sitting MP and climate-policy spokesperson Kajsa Fredholm, and take the party’s only parliamentary seat in the constituency.
Omar was only sixth on the Left Party’s list for the Borlänge Municipal Council but is on course to win a seat through personal votes.
The investigations are examining suspected “improper influence on voting.”
According to Swedish media reports, an anonymous complaint alleged that voters were transported from migrant areas to early-voting locations and supplied with Left Party ballots on which candidates had already been personally marked.
Police surveillance material reportedly includes pre-marked ballots, vehicles transporting voters and documented cash withdrawals.
Investigators also have images showing a person handing voters money and ballots.

🇺🇳🇮🇱🇮🇸 — Icelandic Foreign Minister Katrín Gunnarsdóttir:
"We have heard the words 'moral cowards' from this podium. To me, moral cowards are those who refuse to sit down and negotiate just and lasting peace.
Those leaders who deny access to humanitarian aid for people in desperate need.
And moral cowards are those leaders of the world who repeatedly go against and disrespect international law.
We must not allow the horrors in Ukraine and the Middle East to make other crises invisible".

🇾🇪⚔️🇾🇪 Latest Military Situation Map on the Taiz Front
🟡 Following the advances of Ansar Allah and the Yemeni army in the western part of the Kahbub mountains, the positions of the Yemeni forces in this sector and north of Bab al-Mandab have been consolidated.
✍️ Now most of the clashes continue in southern Taiz with the aim of cutting the Taiz-Aden road, from the left flank in the Al-Shamaytayn district of Taiz province and from the right flank on the border of the Al-Maqatira district of Lahij province and Al-Shamaytayn of Taiz.
✍️ It should be noted that AnsarAllah's positions on the right flank are closer to the Taiz-Aden road, but the geographical complexity of the region and the heights of Jabal Qala have so far prevented effective advances by the Yemeni army on this axis. During the past week, sporadic attacks were carried out from the northern heights toward this road, which were ultimately repelled by the Saudi coalition forces.
