"The leave is valid for two weeks and does not mean that I am resigning from my parliamentary duties," the form states.

In the reason, Mohamed Ali states that it is a "private matter due to ongoing government matters pending official notification."

Ali is involved in an investigation into election fraud in Borlänge and he has said that he wants to wait for it before starting his parliamentary work.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Ali wrote that "the leave application does not mean that I am resigning from my assignment, nor should it be interpreted as an admission of guilt."
