Mehrnoosh "Nooshi" Dadgostar (born 20 June 1985) is a Swedish politician, a member of the Riksdag since 2014, deputy chair of the Left Party from 2018 to 2020, and the chair since 2020.

Career

2020–present: Left Party leadership

On 3 February 2020, Dadgostar announced that she would be running for leader of her party following the resignation of Jonas Sjöstedt. In late September 2020, Dadgostar was officially nominated as the party's new leader, and on 31 October she was elected leader of the Left Party.

In mid-June 2021, she threatened to seek a vote of no-confidence in Stefan Löfven's premiership after the government announced its intention to relax rent control laws in Sweden. On 15 June, she issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the government to either withdraw its plans or have the Left Party withdrawing from the governing coalition. Dadgostar followed through by pulling the Left Party out from their passive support, resulting in a chamber vote where the Riksdag voted Löfven out of power.

Personal life

Her parents moved to Sweden as refugees from Iran to escape persecution in the early 1980s. She grew up in Gothenburg. She enrolled at Stockholm University, studying law, but did not complete a degree.
