On April 2, parliamentary elections took place in Finland to determine the composition of the country's legislative body for 2023-2027. The country's opposition National Coalition Party led by Petteri Orpo claimed victory in the election, receiving 20.8% of votes, while the Finns Party led by Riikka Purra gained 20.1%. Work on the formation of a new government will be launched immediately after Easter, with the process expected to be finalized by mid-summer. Until then, the Marin cabinet will continue in a caretaker role without making any political decisions. The Finnish parliament is unicameral and comprises 200 legislators; parliamentary elections are held every four years.
