Carl Axel Mikael Darvik (born 26 June 1982) is a Swedish liberal politician and engineer. He served as a Member of the Riksdag for Gothenburg Municipality between 2002 and 2006 for the Liberal Party, and since 2021 he has been a city commissioner (kommunalråd) in Gothenburg.[1][2][3]
Darvik was elected to the Riksdag in the 2002 Swedish general election. He represented the Gothenburg Municipality constituency and served as a deputy member of the Committee on Education and the Committee on Cultural Affairs.[1]
In early 2021 Darvik was appointed city commissioner responsible for primary education and served as chair of the Primary School Committee (grundskolenämnden).[4] After the 2022 change of power in Gothenburg he continued as an opposition city commissioner. As of 2024–2026 he is a member of the City Executive Board, its working committee and the personnel committee, and Gothenburg’s representative in the Eurocities Digital Forum.[2]
As school commissioner in 2021, Darvik fronted the launch of a municipal Teacher Academy to support professional development for teachers in Gothenburg’s compulsory schools.[5][6]
In 2021 Gothenburg withheld municipal funding to the independent school Römosseskolan amid concerns over governance and leadership suitability. The Swedish Schools Inspectorate later revoked the school’s authorisation; in 2022 the Court of Appeal (Kammarrätten) upheld the revocation.[7][8]
In 2024 Darvik and the Liberal Party in Gothenburg appealed a municipal decision to boycott goods from certain states; the Administrative Court (Förvaltningsrätten) first suspended and later annulled the decision, holding that such a boycott constituted an impermissible foreign-policy statement at municipal level.[9][10][11]
In 2025 Darvik pressed for greater transparency regarding the controversial Karlastaden property deal, requesting access to valuation documents; the municipal housing group Framtiden AB declined his request citing potential harm to the company.[12]
Darvik was elected to the Liberal Party’s national executive committee (partistyrelsen) at the 2019 party congress and subsequently formed part of the party leadership constituted after the congress.[13][14]
Darvik holds an MSc in Industrial Engineering and Management from the Chalmers University of Technology (2012).[3]
