ABC News reports:
Former Prime Minister Alexander Stubb won the first round of Finland’s presidential election Sunday and will face runner-up ex-Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto [photo] in a runoff next month.
The vote largely centered on the Nordic nation’s new role as a NATO front-line country with Russia, and the security situation in Europe, particularly Russia’s assault on Ukraine. With all the votes counted, Stubb led the first round with 27.2% of the votes, while Haavisto, Finland’s top diplomat in 2019-2023, took second place with 25.8%.
As foreign minister, Haavisto signed Finland’s historic accession treaty to NATO last year and played a key role in the membership process along with former Prime Minister Sanna Marin.
The Guardian reports:
The 65-year-old former foreign minister is hoping to become the country’s first Green and first gay president. His club nights have been a big part of his campaign. He invites leading names from Finland’s music scene to perform, followed by a DJ set by Haavisto himself, who goes by the stage name “DJ Pexi”.
He mainly plays his favourite songs from the 60s and 70s. Between tracks, he takes to the microphone, telling his fans crowded around the DJ booth what the songs mean to him.
Friday’s set list included Rivers of Babylon by Boney M, Adam and Eve by Paul Anka, Rikarena’s Era Mentira, and Revolution by the Beatles. Haavisto’s partner told the Observer that his musical taste was “terrible” and the fact people pay to attend the sold-out nights amazes Haavisto.
