On Wednesday, departing Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said she will become a regular MP in the newly elected Parliament.
Marin informed a press conference that she would not run for president and would begin her duties as a parliamentarian next week.
She denied overseas job offers.
Last Sunday’s election saw Marin’s party finish third behind the right-wing National Coalition and the Finns.
The Finnish prime minister since 2019 is Sanna Mirella Marin. Since 2015, she has served in Parliament as an SDP member.
Marin attended Tampere University after moving from Helsinki. She joined the Social Democratic Youth in 2006 and was vice president from 2010 to 2012. After that, she was a Tampere City Councillor and then a parliamentarian.
Marin became prime minister on 8 December 2019 when Antti Rinne resigned over the postal strike. As a result, she became Finland’s youngest president, aged 34, and the world’s fourth-youngest state leader after Dritan Abazović of Montenegro, Gabriel Boric of Chile, and Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso.
