Yes, and he had meetings with Somali state representatives in Somalia and in Sweden before the election, discussing how the Somali population in Sweden should act in the election to further Somali interests.

With just 600 votes needed, seats to the Swedish parliament can be bought by foreign states for just $5,000 or so.
