In 2002, a year after winning Expedition Robinson, Johansson contested another election to be elected into the Riksdagen. The elections ended with Johansson again not getting enough votes, but he was still elected into the Riksdagen as he was already in another elected seat for the Riksdagen. No other candidate got enough votes to get him off that seat.
During his campaign to yet again be elected into the Norrtälje municipality council in 2010, Johansson illegally used the Harley-Davidson logotype which he had redone with a message to voters. This action was brought up in the Norrtelje Tidning on 9 September 2010, where it was said to be “incredibly distasteful”. Nonetheless, his campaign succeeded and he got the highest number of votes among all constituencies for the Social Democrats.
