Juho Seppo Antero Eerola (born 24 February 1975 in Kymi, Finland) is a Finnish politician of the Finns Party. He was elected to the Finnish Parliament in the 2011 election. He is also a member of the city council of Kotka.[1] In the True Finns' party conference of 2011 Eerola was elected as the party's second vice-chairman,[2] and in the conference of 2013 he was elected as the third vice-chairman.[3] Eerola is a former member of the nationalist organisation Suomen Sisu: he resigned his membership in 2012 when he felt that people outside the party were using the issue as a wedge against him and the party.[4]
