Hanif Bali (Swedish: [ˈhǎnːɪf ˈbǎːlɪ]; Persian: حنیف بالی [hæˈniːf ˈbæliː]; born 10 April 1987) is a Swedish politician of the Moderate Party and a former[1] board member of the Moderate Party. He has been member of the Swedish Riksdag for Stockholm County since 2010. He lives in Österåker, Åkersberga.

Bali arrived in Sweden unaccompanied from Iran at the age of 3, and lived most of his childhood in different foster families. He studied at Uppsala University after finishing gymnasium. Prior to becoming a full-time politician, Bali worked as a programmer and web developer. He worked for the Moderate Party as a webmaster from 2006 to 2007.

Prior to the 2010 general election he stood as number 9 on the ticket for the Swedish Riksdag in Stockholm County[2] and was thus the youngest and highest placed newcomer in the Moderate Party in the region. In the Swedish Riksdag, Bali is a permanent member of the Labour Market Committee and a deputy in the Education Committee. He is responsible for integration issues in the Labour Market Committee of the Moderate Party. He also runs a business as an IT consultant.

He is known for being outspoken on Twitter, which has resulted in multiple controversies and comparisons with both US President Donald Trump and political pundit Milo Yiannopolous for his attacks on political opponents as well as the direct nature of his tweets.[3][4] In early September of 2021, an internal and subsequently an ongoing police investigation was initiated into accusations of sexual misconduct against minors, and he was relieved from all political assignments pending further investigation.[5]

Bali has carried out fundraising activities, to collect funds for crime victims.[6][7]

Bali supports the legalization of cannabis to fight drug traffickers and organized crime.[8]
