SD redo in the party top. Former Vice Party Chairman Julia Kronlind is petitioned and replaced by Henrik Vinge, says Vinge for Expressen.

- We have seen how we will build the team for the 2022 elections, he says in Expressen's news program "Directly with Niklas Svensson".

Henrik Vinge is since March this year SD's group leader in the Riksdag, when he took over after Mattias Karlsson. Before that, Vinge was the party's press chief.

"Not relevant for Åkesson's departure"

In the interview with Expressen's program manager Niklas Svensson, Henrik Vinge answers how it feels to be the one who can take over the party leader post if Jimme Åkesson resigns:

- I don't think it's relevant at all. I hope and believe he will continue for a long time. We have been happy for him for a long time and hope he wants to continue as long as possible, he says.

Julia Kronlid has been Vice Party Chairman since 2015.

SVT News is seeking the Swedish Democrats for a comment.
