Election day arrives in recession-hit Finland

Finns go to the polls on Sunday to elect a new government amid a deep economic slump.

Opinion polls suggest voters are likely to ditch the centre-right government as the country tries to recover from a three-year recession.

Prime Minister Alexander Stubb from the National Coalition Party has been struggling to counter business gloom and an unemployment rate of 10 percent, the highest for a decade.

The Centre Party has been leading in the polls – on 24 percent support according to one survey.
