Annika Raudsepp is a Hurmu–Lakkvian politician for the Social and Democratic Party of Hurmu.
She joined the Social Democrats upon starting university (studying to be a teacher), and quickly became active in student politics at the University of Vesüha. Following graduation in 1680, she worked as a high school social studies teacher until 1686, when she did politics full-time, when she was elected as one of three Social Democrats to the Lakkvian legislature. She campaigned for integration with Hurmu in the referendum of 1689. In next year's Hurmu elections, the Social Democrats, now rebranded as the Social Democratic Party of the Lake District (following their divorce from the Craitish mother party) failed to achieve representation in the Assembly of Representatives, and Raudsepp returned to teaching.
In 1691, she was elected to the board of the party, and began work to rebrand and rework the party for the new Hurmu, making the party less a Lakkvian party and more of a Hurmu party. She led conversations with the Social Democratic Party of Lontinien, with which her party formed a close alliance and partnership. In the next elections, of 1695, the Social Democrats still failed to achieve representation in the Assembly for the Lake District, but the sister party in Lontinien made headway. Frustrated, the same occurred in 1701, and by now, something radical needed to occur for the party to make progress in the Lake District.
In the party congress of 1702, she was elected leader of the Social Democrats of the Lake District on a platform to create a pan-Hurmu social democratic alternative. Negotiations with the other social democratic parties (now supplemented also by the ones in Transprinitica and Rekozemlje) bore fruit, and in 1704, the Social and Democratic Party of Hurmu was formed, with the charismatic Rashid Hasanzadeh as leader and Raudsepp as deputy leader. In 1707, she was elected to the Assembly of Representatives, and elected again in 1712. She was part of the negotiation teams that led to the formation of the cabinet of Patrik Djupvik. In that cabinet, she was Minister of Labour from 1713 to 1716 when she, along with her party, resigned en masse from the cabinet during the 1716–1717 Hurmu political crisis. Thereafter, in 1717, Hasanzadeh resigned, after internal pressure from the party grassroots, and was replaced by Raudsepp, who, in 1718, brought the party to a landslide victory.
