A heatwave helped keep the voters on the beaches and in their holiday cottages, with only 30% bothering to cast their ballots.
Among the successful candidates were former world rally driving champion Ari Vatenen and former world ski-ing champion Marjo Matikainen-Kallstrom, both representing the conservative National Coalition.
The governing Social Democrats lost one seat, while their main coalition partner, the
Conservatives, retained their four seats.
The Green Party, which is also one of the five coalition members, increased its seats by one
for a total of two.
The main opposition Centre Party retained its four seats, while
the minor opposition party the Christian League gained a seat to obtain their first representative to Brussels.
