Benny Andersson pledges support for Social Democratic candidate Magdalena
Benny Andersson said he will help the Social Democratic campaign for Magdalena, despite usually avoiding political endorsements.
The former ABBA member told reporters he wants to contribute to the Social Democratic effort for Magdalena, even though he doubts his impact. He noted his family’s long-standing ties to the party and said he normally shuns being a campaign mascot. Andersson added that his past performances for Olof Palme and Anna Lindh inspired his current involvement.
