Göran Johansson (born August 31, 1945, in Gothenburg) is a Swedish Social Democratic Party politician. He is currently the chairman (commissioner) 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 to leave their assignments within the Social Democratic Party.
Johansson suffers from a skin disease that makes his face look swollen and red.
