Sanna Marin, the prime minister of Finland, declares victory

The National Coalition Party (NCP) won Finland's parliamentary election, narrowly ahead of the Finns Party with 46 seats and Marin's Social Democrats with 43 seats. NCP leader Petteri Orpo promised to "fix Finland" and form a coalition to obtain majority in parliament. Marin, 37, is seen as a millennial role model for progressive new leaders, but has faced criticism for her partying and public spending. Marin has promised to curb spending and stop the rise of public debt, while Orpo has said he will negotiate with all groups to obtain a majority in parliament. The Finns Party's main goal is to reduce immigration and austerity policies, and Helsinki is expected to join NATO within days.
