Conclusion of the First Round of Presidential Election: Former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Advance to the Next Round

The presidential elections in Finland took place on Sunday (28th) with 99.5% of the votes counted. According to data released by the Department of Justice, the center-right National Coalition Party's candidate and former prime minister, Stubb, won the first round of voting with 27.2% of the votes. He will compete in the second round of elections on November 11th against the Green Party's representative, Haavisto, who received the second highest number of votes.




Harvisto from the Liberal Green Party and Halla-aho from the far-right Finnish People's Party received 25.8% and 19% of the votes respectively, placing 2nd and 3rd. As no candidate received more than 50% of the votes in Sunday's election, the top two candidates will advance to the second round of voting.




According to Stubb, he expressed his satisfaction and gratitude for the results, saying that it exceeded his expectations. Havissto, who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs until last year, stated that the first round results were very good and the gap between their candidate and the one behind them was significant.




In contrast to other European countries, the President of Finland is responsible for leading the country's foreign and security policies. Following Russia's aggression in Ukraine, Finland broke its decades-long policy of neutrality and joined NATO. The new President of Finland will begin their 6-year term in March.
