Former Prime Minister Alexander Stubb wins the first round of Finland's presidential vote, setting the stage for a runoff with Pekka Haavisto.

In a significant turn of events, Alexander Stubb, the former Finnish Prime Minister, has clinched victory in the initial round of Finland's presidential election. Stubb, aged 55, secured a substantial lead over his main rival, Pekka Haavisto, aged 65, in a closely watched electoral battle. The election, witnessed by about 4.5 million eligible voters, aimed to identify a successor to the immensely popular outgoing President. As Finland grapples with heightened tensions with Russia, the presidency assumes a pivotal role in the country's security landscape, especially as the commander-in-chief of the Finnish military. Stubb's triumph underscores a shift in Finnish leadership and sets the stage for a runoff that will shape the nation's future trajectory.
