Richard Johannes Jomshof, né Lohikoski, (born 6 July 1969 in Helsingborg) is a Swedish politician affiliated with the Sweden Democrats (SD) party and former pop musician.

[7] Jomshof's original political background was in the Moderate Youth League and he had also previously voted for the Swedish Social Democratic Party.

[11] In September 2024, he temporarily stepped down as chair of the Justice Committee after Swedish police announced an investigation into whether Jomshof republishing two image posts on X – from an account run by Indian satirist Imtiaz Mahmood which depicted caricatures of Muslim and Pakistani refugees as villains – constituted a hate crime following complaints from members of the justice committee.

[14][15] In February 2025, Jomshof announced he would step down as chairman of the Justice Committee after citing his personal opposition to new restrictions on AR-15 rifles introduced by the Swedish government following the 2025 Risbergska school shooting.

[16][17] Jomshof has cited Winston Churchill, Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, Per Albin Hansson and the Dalai Lama as his political role models.

He has stated that his most important issues in politics are harsher punishments for serious crimes, more restrictions on immigration, expanding nuclear power, reforms to Sweden's education system, an exit from the EU and creating a Nordic defense alliance.

Jomshof also said that he previously was a political liberal and supported open borders, but much of his current beliefs and decision to join the SD were formed after working in Swedish schools in the late 1980s and stating that he was already witnessing issues surrounding discipline, language and cultural segregation between immigrants and Swedes.

[29] In 2021, Jomshof appeared on a Swedish TV show Sverige möts, where he allegedly called Islam a "disgusting religion."

His remarks drew media attention and he was subsequently criticized by Moderate leader Ulf Kristersson and former Swedish prime minister Stefan Löfven.

At the time, Riazat had also come under criticism from Moderate Party parliamentarian Fredrik Kärrholm for refusing to shake hands with opposition politicians following a Riksdag debate, which is often the custom.
