Social Democratic Party (SP) politician Islam Alijaj is physically disabled and has a severe speech impediment. When he got elected to the Zurich City Council, despite a low ranking on his party’s electoral list, it was a minor miracle. He went on to aim for a greater goal – a seat on Switzerland’s National Council. History repeated itself when, with the support of many, he once again achieved the seemingly impossible.
