Alternative for Sweden

Alternativ för Sverige

International alliances

A far-right political party in Sweden. It was founded in March 2018 by Gustav Kasselstrand and William Hahne, along with other members of the Sweden Democratic Youth, who were collectively expelled from the Sweden Democrats in 2015. The party's most prominent issue is return migration, advocating for the forced remigration of immigrants to their countries of origin, alongside Sweden's withdrawal from the European Union.

AfS ran in the general elections of 2018 and 2022, but failed to enter the Riksdag. With 0.26% of the vote, AfS is the second largest party without representation in the Riksdag. In the 2019 European Parliament election in Sweden, the party ran on an anti-EU platform, receiving 0.46% of the vote. In November 2020, AfS announced its intention to run in the 2021 election to the Church of Sweden council. It won 1.26% of the votes, giving it three seats in the Church council. In 2025, AfS lost its three seats despite winning 1.64% of the vote this time, due to a newly introduced 2% threshold.

Chairperson: Gustav Kasselstrand
