Election 2026
Seven out of eight party leaders had it.
But not Jimmie Åkesson.
Flags, party symbols and a pink band.
But at Jimmie Åkesson’s jacket it was empty.
When the leadership parties’ leaders debated in SVT’s “Agenda”, seven out of eight wore a jacket needle.
Ulf Kristersson (M) and Magdalena Andersson (S) each carried their needle with Sweden’s flag. Nooshi Dadgostar (V), Daniel Helldén (MP) and Simona Mohamsson (L) wore party needles. Ebba Busch (KD) wore a needle with Sweden and NATO’s flags. And Anna-Karin Hatt (C) was wearing the pink band symbol.
Jimmie Åkesson lacks a jacket needle. Any particular reason?
– No. He usually doesn’t have it, says Chief of Staff Linus Bylund.
