TL;DR Summary

Finland's outgoing Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, announced her resignation as the leader of the Social Democratic Party at the next party congress in autumn, following her party's third-place finish in Sunday's election. Marin, who has been prime minister since 2019, said her premiership had put a strain on her personally and hopes to live a more peaceful life in the future. Talks to form a new government will begin next week under the leadership of Petteri Orpo, the head of the National Coalition Party. The Social Democrats would be open to being a part of the new government, too, Marin said.
