Harry Juhani "Hjallis" Harkimo (born 2 November 1953) is a Finnish businessman, sportsperson, and a member of the Finnish Parliament. Previously a National Coalition Party MP, he now chairs his own political party, Movement Now.
First elected to the Parliament in 2015 representing NCP, his tenure in the party was cut short following his complaints about leadership in 2018.[2] He then proceeded to establish and register his new political movement simply as an association due to strong disdain toward traditional party politics.[3] Following his successful re-election campaign in 2019, Harkimo decided to register Movement Now as a party afterall, explaining that "the whole system was built so that thriving in it won't be possible without having a party."[4]
In the Parliament, Harkimo sits in opposition, although he voted in favor of swearing in the Rinne Cabinet. He later explained this by saying he wanted to give the government platform a chance, since he considered many of its goals positive.[5] Since then, Harkimo and Movement Now have been more critical of the government, even by joining in on some joint opposition interpellations.
