Mats Hellhoff, 70, replaces SD member David Lång in the Riksdag, reports Expressen.
Yes, it wasn't what I had expected, says Mats Hellhoff to the newspaper.
The party announced on Monday that David Lång is leaving his Riksdag assignment. This after he sang a song with a racist message at the EU election vigil, which a reporter from Expressen caught on tape.
Mats Hellhoff is group leader for SD Västernorrland and has a background in municipal and regional politics. Previously, he has worked as a police inspector.
