*Province of Åland representative.
In the election one of the "leaders" of the National Coalition Party, Sauli Niinistö (A president nominate, 2006) had more votes than anyone else in Finland before, total of 60 563 votes.The elections were a major victory for the opposition National Coalition Party under Jyrki Katainen. It gained 10 seats and took over the position of the second-largest party in Finland. The main government partners, the Centre Party and the Social Democrats, both lost ground. With the Left Alliance also losing seats, the labor parties received the worst result in the 100 year history of Finnish democracy; for the Social Democrats, the result is the worst since 1962, while the Left Alliance has lost seats in every election since 1999. The Centre Party, despite the loss, maintained its position as the biggest party in Parliament, with one seat more than the National Coalition. It is also the only time, except for the parliamentary election of 1930, that the Centre Party and the National Coalition Party together have an absolute majority in Parliament. The outcome could lead to the formation of a new center-right government and leave out the left-leaning Social Democrats in opposition for the first time since 1995.
Winners also include the True Finns, who gained two seats. Party leader Timo Soini in particular took in a massive personal total of almost 20,000 votes, the third greatest in the Uusimaa district
