On Sunday, the people of Finland elected 200 deputies to the national parliament – Eduskunta.
In Finland, parliamentary elections were held, in which the National Opposition Coalition won. On Sunday, April 2, Yle reported.
According to preliminary results, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s Social Democratic Party is losing to the right-wing National Coalition led by Petter Orpo, who could become the next head of government. He won 20.8% of the vote.
The second place was taken by the political force True Finns with a score of 20.1%.
The current Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, received 35,623 votes. His Social Democratic Party won 19.9 percent.
The turnout in the parliamentary elections was 71.9%, which is 0.2 pp lower than the previous ones (72.1%), which took place in 2019. The highest voter turnout was recorded in Helsinki (77.5), the lowest – in the Åland Islands (59.7 ).
The final election results will be known on April 5.
If the result doesn’t change much, none of the parties will be able to form its own government and will have to find coalition partners. The winning party will be the first to try to put together such a coalition.
Finland’s center-left Social Democratic Party representative Sanna Marin led the country’s government in 2019, becoming the world’s youngest prime minister. At the time of office, he was 34 years old. Opinion polls in Finland call Marin the most popular prime minister this century.
The current president of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, is losing in the second round of presidential elections.
Remember, on March 30, the Turkish parliament approved the protocol of Finland’s accession to NATO. And on March 27, the Hungarian parliament voted for Finland to join the Alliance.
