Oscar Öhman

Eric Oscar Öhman (1 December 1886 – 16 January 1947) was a Swedish politician. He was a member of parliament (Second Chamber) 1929-1932 för Västernorrlands län.[1]

He was the son of Erik Öhman (farmer and shoemaker) and Anna Svedlund.[1] In 1916 he became a member of the municipal council of Timrå.[1] Towards the end of 1919 Oscar Öhman founded the newspaper Medelpads-Kuriren (which later became Norrlands-Kuriren).[2][3] In the same year he became vice chairman of the Timrå municipal council.[1]

He was a key leader of the Communist Party in Sundsvall.[4] In 1927 he became a member of the Västernorrlands län county council.[1] When the Communist Party underwent a major split in 1929, Oscar Öhman sided with the Karl Kilbom faction.[5][6]

Öhman lost his parliamentary seat in the 1932 election.[7] Like many other personalities in the Kilbom faction, he later joined to the Social Democratic Party.[4]
