Opposition leader Juha Sipila wins elections in Finland

There is a changing of the guard in Finland.

The opposition Centre Party led by millionaire businessman Juha Sipila is the winner of parliamentary elections.

He will replace Alexander Stubb, who has led a broad pro-European coalition government.

Sipila is likely to now become prime minister of a coalition that could include Eurosceptic nationalists.

“The Finnish situation is very difficult and it will be about a 10-year project to get Finland in shape again,” said Sipila.
