Finland's progressive Prime Minister Sanna Marin has conceded defeat as her ruling social democratic party fell after two right-wing parties both won more seats in parliament in national elections on Sunday.The National Coalition Party , which campaigned on cutting government spending and reducing the national debt, won 20.8% of the vote, while the nationalist, anti-immigration Finns Party won 20.1%. Marin's Social Democratic Party was supported by 19.
The prime minister has also been a strong supporter of Finland's bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , which is expected to be finalized on Tuesday. 'Sanna Marin, like Jacinda Ardern, will be missed in global politics,' peace and conflict research professor Ashok Swain of Sweden's Uppsala University told CNBC, referring to New Zealand's former progressive prime minister.
