Kadir Kasirga (born 1975) is a Swedish politician of Kurdish descent.[1][2] He served as Member of the Riksdag representing the constituency of Stockholm Municipality from 24 September 2018 to 8 March 2020.[3] Sultan Kayhan took his place in the Riksdag after Kasirga resigned. He became a member of the Riksdag again in 2022.[4][5] He volunteered as an OECD observer to the Turkish elections in May 2023, but he was denied entry to Turkey on grounds he had visited the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the past.[6]
