Yes, well, good I say. Here's an article - in Swedish - which gives some insight in what happened:

https://ledarsidorna.se/klanerna-valjer-partier/

The title is "Clans choose parties":

When the Somali form of parliamentarism meets the Swedish electoral system, both friction and synergies arise. It was not the communist party's election committees or voters who elected their candidates or members. It was the Somali clan logic, parliamentary tradition and electoral college which decided which Swedish parties would become platforms to channel their representatives.

The article is written by Johan Westerholm, he used to work for the Swedish state foreign aid organisation SIDA and as such has a lot of experience in these matters.
