Here is a profile of Finland's outgoing Prime Minister Sanna Marin, whose left-wing Social Democrats lost a parliamentary election on Sunday, although they might still join the next coalition with election winner the National Coalition Party.
Marin became the world's youngest premier at 34, when she took office in late 2019.
She said her family was "very poor" during her childhood, and before turning 20 she worked in a department store to support herself before taking advantage of Finland's free education to obtain a master's degree in administrative studies. She was elected to parliament in 2015 and again in 2019, when her party won the election and she became minister of transport and communications.
Marin soon found herself managing Finland's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and then Europe's energy crunch caused by neighbouring Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
