In the second season of Idols, Ibi Love, who shook her head in the auditions, that is Iida Maria Lukander ran for parliament in 2011. Lukander tried to become a member of parliament from the lists of the Communist Party of Finland.
At that time, the general secretary of the party told MTV news about Lukander’s candidacy.
– Ibi has a background as a peace activist, he protests against various social movements and issues. It is important that there are people on Skp’s lists who are not members of the party, MTV was told.
In 2008, he made a remarkable return to Idols, when he came on stage to congratulate Koop Arpo, who had just won the competition.

In 2007, rapper Pikku G, aka Henri Vähäkainu, ran for parliament. The rapper was only 18 years old when he ran for the place of MP. Vähäkainu had actively participated as a supporter of the party’s then chairman and Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen.
However, Vähäkainu didn’t open a seat in the parliament from the center’s ranks. A few years later, he was fined for a drug offense in the Vantaa district court. Nine other people who distributed cocaine in Finland were also sentenced in the same string.
He has also worked as an entrepreneur and done a lot of charity with, for example, the Red Cross.
