Country choosing between former PM Alexander Stubb and ex-foreign minister Pekka Haavisto
Finland headed back to the polls on Sunday for a runoff vote in the country’s most high-stakes presidential election in a generation.
The former prime minister Alexander Stubb, of the centre-right National Coalition party, led in the polls but his rival Pekka Haavisto, a former foreign minister and a member of the Green party who is running as an independent, had narrowed the gap in the last few days of campaigning.
