The Swedish National Union of Students' highest decision-making body, the SFS Council, has now elected presidium for the 2026/2027 financial year. The election took place on May 9 in Skövde, with nearly 200 delegates from the student movement present. Hampus Haugland was elected chairman and Victor Holmström was elected vice chairman.
– It feels great to be able to represent the student unions and the students. In the coming year, the conditions for student influence will continue to be important to us. With an election campaign around the corner, the student movement is coming together and advancing our positions so that student issues and higher education can have a place in the debate and in the corridors of power, says Hampus Haugland.
– I am grateful and honored to represent the students as vice president. During the year, I will work for a strong and united student voice where everyone feels welcome and where commitment is valued, says Victor Holmström.
The Presidium leads SFS's work and represents the organization towards the government, parliament and other social actors on issues concerning students' conditions and prioritized issues. The new Presidium will take office on 1 July.
Hampus is currently a member of the SFS Committee for International Affairs, Komit, and a student teacher at the University of Gothenburg. Victor is a member of the SFS Board and a law student at Umeå University.
