Magdalena Andersson Håkan Juholt (born 16 September 1962) is a Swedish politician who was Leader of the Social Democrats from 2011 to 2012.

[6] After finishing gymnasium, he was hired in 1980 as a photographer and journalist for the Social Democratic Kalmar newspaper Östra Småland (Östran),[7] where he is still formally employed but on leave since elected to parliament in 1994.

After the Swedish parliamentary election in 2010, where the Social Democrats lost a significant number of votes, Håkan Juholt criticized the party's campaign.

[10] When Jytte Guteland, chairman of the party's youth league (SSU), called for the whole board to offer their resignation, he was the first to support her.

[18][19] Seven Social Democratic politicians called for Juholt to resign as party leader, despite having held that position for just half a year.

There was some speculation in the aftermath that the whole affair was the result of internal conflicts among the Social Democrats, since there was a strong faction that wanted to get rid of Juholt.

[22] On 21 January 2012, Juholt effectively announced his resignation as head of the Social Democrats at a news conference in Oskarshamn.

The detailed circumstances regarding his short chairmanship of the Social Democratic party has been portrayed in a documentary film ("Partiledaren som klev ut ur kylan[23]") by Tom Alandh.
