The Social Democratic Party has won a narrow victory in Finland's general election with 17.7% of the vote, BBC reports.
But the far-right Finns Party was close behind on 17.5%, while the Centre Party of outgoing PM Juha Sipila saw its support crash by a third to 13.8%.
"For the first time since 1999 we are the largest party in Finland," said SDP leader Antti Rinne.
But with the vote split and no party winning by a clear margin, it may be hard to build a workable coalition.
The Greens and the Left Alliance also increased their share of the vote.
It is the first time in more than a century that no party has won more than 20% of the vote.
Voter turnout was 72%.
