...which in English means parliamentary elections 2015. Election day was yesterday and final results are as follows:

Party - Seats (Change) - Percent (Change)

Centre 49 (+14) 21,1 (+5,3)
Finns 38 (-1) 17,6 (-1,4)
National Coalition 37 (-7) 18,2 (-2,2)
Social Democrats 34 (-8) 16,5 (-2,6)
Greens 15 (+5) 8,5 (+1,3)
Left Alliance 12 (-2) 7,1 (-1,0)
Swedish People's Party 9 (0) 4,9 (+0,6)
Christian Democrats 5 (-1) 3,5 (-0,5)

This means that Mr. Juha Sipilä leader of Centre Party will most likely become prime minister. Everything else is unknown although a) Social Democrats have declared that they are not willing to continue in same government with National Coalition and b) Greens and Finns fit together like gasoline and match.

As a reminder previous government also known as "Six Pack" included National Coalition (prime minister), Social Democrats (deputy prime minister), Greens (until spring 2014), Left Alliance (until spring 2014), Swedish People's Party and Christian Democrats.

Results including those for parties which did not archive seat are available (in Finnish) here.
