Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin is stepping away from politics after losing her leadership position in April.
Marin, known for forming a left-wing coalition in 2019, was one of Europe’s youngest leaders. She played a prominent role in shaping government policies during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“Time to move on,” according to Finnish public broadcaster YLE. “I am eager to step into a new role. I also believe that it can benefit the whole of Finland.”

Marin’s Social Democratic Party (SDP) finished third in the race, narrowly behind the center-right National Coalition Party (NCP) and the right-wing populist party The Finns. SDP received 19.9% of voter support in the April election.
Marin recently accepted a position with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a London-based nonprofit.
“I believe that I can serve those voters in Finland well, and maybe even better, in this new role,” Marin stated at a press conference.
