Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin was projected to lose in the Nordic country’s close parliamentary elections.
Running neck-and-neck with opposition center-right National Coalition, the millennial leader’s Social Democrats were seen falling to third place, according to a projection of the results by state broadcaster YLE. The prediction attempts to even out the disparities in the speed of counting in smaller municipalities and the big cities.
The projection gave Marin’s SDP 43 seats, behind both the National Coalition with 48 seats and the far-right Finns Party with 46 seats.
