Joakim Persson is an Ordennyan politician, who served as Prime Minister of Ordennya between 2018 and 2019, and Leader of the Ordennyan Conservative Party betweem 2015 and 2019. He previously served as Secretary of State for Health, appointed by Prime Minister Fredrik Xandstrom in 2007, serving for 8 years until 7 May 2015, when the Conservatives were defeated in the general election. Following Xandstrom's announcement that he would stand down as Conservative leader ahead of the election, Fallow announced his candidacy, defeating three other candidates to be elected leader.

Following the 2018 Ordennyan federal election, a coalition was formed by his Party, the People's Party, and the Liberals. As part of the agreement, Persson took office as Prime Minister. He called a snap election in June 2019, but lost to the Green Party. He was succeeded as Prime Minister by Clas Markussen, and as Conservative Party leader by Ada Alver.
