Alexander Stubb of the Kok.-EPP, former Prime Minister and member of the centre-right National Coalition Party, has been elected as Finland's 13th President, and the first Swedish-speaking president since Field Marshal Carl Gustaf Mannerheim in 1946. With 100% of the votes counted, Stubb won the presidential election with 51.6% of the vote, narrowly defeating the Green party candidate Pekka Haavisto, who received 48.4%. Stubb's victory marks a significant return to politics after a seven-year hiatus. His election is particularly notable as Finland navigates its new role in NATO and the implications of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Stubb is known for his pro-European stance and support for Ukraine. His six-year term is set to begin on March 1.
