Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin quits politics after losing April election

Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced she will be stepping away from politics to accept a position at a London-based nonprofit.

"Time to move on," Marin said, according to Finnish public broadcaster YLE.  "I am eager to step into a new role. I also believe that it can benefit the whole of Finland."

Marin’s Social Democratic Party (SDP) finished in third place in the race with razor-thin margins after 20.8% of Finnish voters threw their weight behind the center-right National Coalition Party (NCP) and 20.1% of voters backed the right-wing populist party The Finns. Marin’s party secured 19.9% of voter support in the April election.
