Who is Göran Johansson?
Göran Johansson is a Swedish Social Democratic Party politician. He is currently the chairman of the Gothenburg Municipality Executive Board. With a working class background, he was a union leader at his workplace at SKF and later became the Social Democratic Party's "strong man" in Gothenburg.
He is one of the best known politicians in Sweden and has in public surveys been voted as one of the most popular politicians. But he has also been criticized for an undemocratic leadership which has made several – especially female – politicians leave their assignments within the Social Democratic Party.
Johansson suffers from systemic lupus erythematosus, which has caused his face to look swollen and red.
He was longlisted for the 2008 World Mayor award. Like New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, Johansson takes public transit to work.
