Finland Votes for President


Finland is holding a presidential election as it faces concerns about potential aggression from Russia. The current president, Sauli Niinistö, is ineligible to run again after serving two terms. The two front-runners in the election are Alexander Stubb and Pekka Haavisto. If no candidate receives more than half of the vote, a runoff election will be held on Feb. 11. The outcome of the election is expected to have an impact on Finland's foreign policy and its relationship with NATO.
