Ex-Businessman to Win Finland Parliamentary Election

Juha Sipil?, a former IT businessman who headed the Center Party a few years ago, is set to win Finland's general poll held Sunday.

An official projection by public broadcaster YLE suggests Sipil?'s Center Party is likely to get 46 seats, while the National Coalition Party of PM Alexander Stubb will have 37 seats in the 200-strong Parliament.

Results as of 22:30 local time, with 88 percent of votes counted, also give Center a clear lead at 22.3% of ballots, while the NCP and the eurosceptic Finns Party are tied at 17.5%.

Social Democrats come next with 16.5 percent.
