Helsinki, Finland — Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin's center-right rival Petteri Orpo was upbeat Saturday on the eve of legislative elections after polls put his party in top place. 'We have done a great campaign. We have the best candidates all over Finland and we are first in polls so I'm optimistic,' National Coalition party leader Orpo told AFP. The party that comes out on top traditionally inherits the post of prime minister, provided they can form a majority in parliament. According to the latest survey published on Thursday by public broadcaster Yle, Orpo's National Coalition has a thin lead at 19.
