HELSINKI: Finland's centre-right looked on track to win Sunday's general election, a projection showed with 70 per cent of votes counted, beating out the far-right in second and Prime Minister Sanna Marin's Social Democrats in third.
"If this is correct, then this is a very strong victory," National Coalition leader Petteri Orpo told public broadcaster Yle. "There is still an election night ahead, let's see it through until the end," she said, adding:"I am very grateful that people have voted in droves for the Social Democrats." Yet while some view her as a strong leader who deftly navigated the COVID-19 pandemic and the NATO membership process, others see the rising public debt on her watch and backlash over video clips of her partying as signs of inexperience."I liked Marin ... but I don't personally believe that her ideas about economic policy are something she and her government can actually achieve," 29-year-old Kasper Kylmala told AFP after casting his ballot.
The eurosceptic party, which appeals overwhelmingly to male voters, was hoping to beat its record 19.05 per cent score from the 2011 election.
