## Career

He was elected new chairman of the Moderate Youth League at its congress in [Sollentuna](/source/Sollentuna_Municipality) on 25 November 2006, winning over the election committee's candidate [Mattias Thorsson](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mattias_Thorsson&action=edit&redlink=1) with the votes 63–49.

Until being elected chairman of the Moderate Youth League, Wykman was a student of [mathematical statistics](/source/Mathematical_statistics) at [Stockholm University](/source/Stockholm_University) and worked as a team leader at a [call centre](/source/Call_centre).

## Controversial statements

After [the boarding](/source/2010_Gaza_flotilla_raid) of the [Free Gaza Movement](/source/Free_Gaza_Movement)'s "[Freedom Flotilla](/source/2010_Gaza_Freedom_Flotilla)" by Israeli troops in June 2010, Niklas Wykman declared on his Facebook webpage that *"I feel eased now when Hamas does not receive the visits they had expected. It is a victory for the whole of [Gaza](/source/Gaza_Strip)!*[The Swedish]*Ship to Gaza are useful idiots, terrorists, and ideologically driven aiming to genocide Israel"*[2][3] The statements received strong criticism from representatives from most political parties, including Swedish prime minister [Fredrik Reinfeldt](/source/Fredrik_Reinfeldt), who recognized the humanitarian aspects of the solidarity movement.[4]
