The nation’s centre-right party claimed victory in a tight general election
Finland’s left-wing Prime Minister Sanna Marin has lost her battle to stay in power.
Finland’s centre-right leader claimed victory in a tight general election.
The head of the conservative National Coalition Party is 53-year-old Petteri Orpo.
Orpo could choose to build a government either with the far-right Finns Party or the Social Democrats.
The biggest party in parliament traditionally gets the first chance to build a government, and usually is the party that claims the prime minister’s office.
Orpo has made the economy his top priority throughout his campaign.
