AN IRANIAN-KURDISH MP at the centre of a deepening row over Sweden’s bid to join Nato could decide the fate of the government in a no-confidence vote today.

The country’s parliament will hold the vote after a motion was submitted by the far-right Sweden Democrats on Friday. 

The vote seeks to oust Justice Minister Morgan Johansson over his handling of gang crime in the Scandinavian country, but Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson has vowed to resign if Mr Johansson is forced out.
