Life and career
Thor was born on 11 December 1997 in Nävelsjö (outside Vetlanda) in Jönköping County, Sweden.[2]
Thor was district chairman of the Moderate Youth League in Jönköping County from 2018 to 2021 and national chairman of the Moderate Students from 2021 to 2022.[3] He was member of the municipal council in Vetlanda Municipality from October 2018 to May 2020, when he resigned to begin studies at Uppsala University.[4]
During the youth leagues congress in November 2022, Thor challenged incumbent Matilda Ekeblad as chairman of the Moderate Youth League and won with the votes 52–49.[5]
In March 2023, Thor received negative publicity for having tried to influence the election of a district chairman in Jämtland County by suggesting that existing members could pay for new members' membership fees; his preferred candidate did not win.[6] The Moderate Partys investigation stated that although Thor's action had been very bad, no new members could be linked to this occasion.[7]
