The Alpha's Blood

Parliamentary elections were held in Finland on 2 April 2023 to elect members of the Parliament of Finland. The opposition's National Coalition Party (KOK) won the election with 20.8% of the national popular vote and winning 48 seats in parliament, the third highest result in the party's history.[1] For the first time in Finland's history, the Centre Party (KESK) did not win a plurality of votes in any regional voting districts.[2] Five government parties and four opposition parties finished with parliamentary seats split dead even at 100–100. It is expected that KOK's Petteri Orpo with his incoming plurality will begin government formation negotiations the week following Easter, when the parliament will convene and together with the president, the parliament will name him the government forming candidate.[3][4]

Following the 2019 election, the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP), led by Antti Rinne, formed the Rinne Cabinet with KESK, Green League (VIHR), Left Alliance (VAS), and the Swedish People's Party of Finland (SFP), with Antti Rinne serving as the prime minister of Finland. Later that year, Rinne was involved in a political scandal regarding the Finnish postal service, after which he resigned. Sanna Marin succeeded him, becoming the world's youngest serving prime minister. As prime minister, Marin focused on issues regarding climate change, while her government also faced with the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The invasion prompted her to announce that Finland would submit its candidacy to join NATO, which it did in May 2022.

Issues regarding the economy, climate change, and education were discussed during the campaign period. Additionally, news agencies have described the election as a close race between the SDP, KOK, and the Finns Party (PS). During the campaign period, Marin stated her support for education and public health spending, while Petteri Orpo's KOK party has called for balancing the economy, reducing spending on unemployment and housing benefits, and constructing more nuclear plants. The PS campaigned on an anti-immigration and anti-European Union platform, while VIHR focused on issues regarding mental health and universal basic income. KESK campaigned on regional politics. Additionally, election debates were organised throughout March 2023. Voters had the option to vote during the advance voting period, which was organised between 22 and 28 March, or on the election day.
