Daniel Sazonov, 31, is likely to be the next mayor of Helsinki, although he has never been successful in an election. A dozen or so decision-makers tell how the background influencer managed to play the current mayor out of his way. I have risen with my own work, Sazonov answers.
Today on Monday evening the Helsinki Convention confirms Daniel Sazonov as a mayoral candidate in Botta’s ballroom in Etu-Töölö.
It is quite an achievement for a politician who is only 31 years old, who is not known to anyone but the most passionate followers of urban politics, who has a reputation as a gray background influencer and who has never been successful in an election.
