The 30-year-old is an unknown newcomer in political circles and has been a member of V for just over a year.
He was in ninth place on the Dalarna Riksdag list - but received 648 personal votes, thus pushing aside V's climate policy spokesperson Kajsa Fredholm, who is losing her seat.
"I am surprised by the support for me personally because I have not had any campaign materials of my own," Ali writes in a message to Expressen.
V's group leader in Borlänge, Matts Hammarqvist, says that Ali has not been active for a long time.
I actually don't really have a clue who it is.
