World’s Youngest Prime Minister, Finland’s Sanna Marin Loses Election
Finland’s Prime Minister, Sanna Marin conceded defeat on Sunday, April 2 in the country’s parliamentary election as the opposition right-wing National Coalition Party (NCP) claimed victory in a tightly fought contest.
The NCP won 48 of the 200 seats in parliament, narrowly ahead of the nationalist Finns Party with 46 seats and Marin’s Social Democrats on 43 seats, justice ministry election data showed after all ballots counted.
“We got the biggest mandate,” NCP leader Petteri Orpo said in a speech to followers, vowing to “fix Finland” and its economy
Orpo will get the first chance at forming a coalition to obtain majority in parliament as Marin’s era as prime minister is now expected to end.
“We have gained support, we have gained more seats (in parliament). That’s an excellent achievement, even if we did not finish first today,” the prime minister said in a speech to party members.
The 37-year-old world’s youngest prime minister has been in office since 2019.
Despite enjoying support from foreigners, she has faced criticisms in her country, for her partying and public spending.
The NCP has led in polls for almost two years although its lead had melted away in recent months.
