"Former Finnish PM Alexander Stubb Narrowly Wins Presidential Election"

Former Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb made a surprise political comeback by winning the presidential election, defeating former Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto. Stubb, a member of the center-right National Coalition Party, has vowed to take a hard line against Russia and promote peace as president. He succeeds outgoing president Sauli Niinistö and will need to navigate Finland's foreign policy challenges, including potential pressure from Russia. Stubb assumes the presidency on March 1.
