Jussi Niinistö (born 27 October 1970 in

Finnish National Defence University. In 2013 he was elected as the first vice-chairman of the True Finns,[4] but lost his seat in 2017.[5]

Niinistö was a member of the municipal council of Nurmijärvi 2009–2015 and the chairman of the Finns Party deputy group of the council 2009–2014. In August 2015, Niinistö moved to Helsinki and left the municipal council.[6] In the 2017 municipal elections Niinistö was elected to the City Council of Helsinki.[7]

On 13 June 2017, Niinistö and 19 others left the Finns Party parliamentary group to found the

Blue Reform party.[8] He took part in the 2019 parliamentary election as a candidate of the Blue Reform, but was not elected.[9]

Niinistö has criticized the Ottawa Treaty which prohibits the use of Land mines and has argued that Finland should leave the treaty.[10]

Jussi Niinistö is not related to President Sauli Niinistö nor his nephew, Green MP Ville Niinistö, and their family names have different origins.[11]

In June 2020 Niinistö was elected as town manager of the small town of Kannus. [12]
