He had previously been active in the Swedish Social Democrats. He was elected to the Riksdag during the 1991 Swedish general election and served on the parliamentary agriculture and education committees. He was also a member of the New Democracy's executive board but lost his seat in the 1994 Swedish general election.[1] In 2008, he became affiliated to the Sweden Democrats and helped to coordinate the SD's campaign during the 2010 Swedish general election. He is also a municipal councilor for the Sweden Democrats on the Öland island.[2][3]
