About Lars Törnman
- Lars Törnman (born 6 May 1951) is a Swedish mine worker, union leader and politician, Municipal commissioner and Mayor of Kiruna in 1994-2003 and 2008-2010 (sharing the latter post in 1998-2002 and 2008–2010).
- Törnman was born in Kiruna, Norrbotten County.
- He was a devoted Social Democrat until his founding of the Kiruna Party in 1994 and again since 2010.
- He made a failed attempt to reach the Riksdag of Sweden by running his Kiruna Party jointly with another local party as the Norrbotten Party (falling barely three percentage short of the 12% threshold). During the 1990s and early 2000s the Kiruna Party was the dominant political force of Kiruna, dropping the Social Democrats with over a fifth of the electorate in its first showing in 1994.
- Later, successes were mixed, but dwindled after 2003, when the leadership of the town was forced to resign after internal disputes.
- Törnman was again appointed Municipal commissioner in 2008, two years after a devastating electoral showing, but returned to the Social Democrats in 2010.
