Malcolm Momodou Jallow has previously announced that he is leaving V, after being pushed out of his position. According to Jallow himself, he has been subjected to manipulation and an undemocratic nomination process.
With his formal withdrawal from the party, he now becomes the Riksdag's ninth so-called independent MP, a member without a party affiliation.
Before his defection, Jallow held several senior posts within V and served as chair of the Riksdag's Civil Affairs Committee.
