Petteri Orpo of the NCP Wins Finland’s 2023 Elections
The first week of April has Finland appearing in most of the headlines. Interestingly, Finland’s parliamentary elections took place on 2nd April, just two days before its acceptance as a NATO member state on 4th April.
Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s Social Democrats Party (SDP) was outpolled by the rival center-right National Coalition Party (NCP).
The NCP is positioned on the centre-right and is labeled as liberal-conservative on the political spectrum.
Later next week, a coalition government will be initiated under the leadership of Petteri Orpo of the NCP.
