Finnish President Sauli Niinisto appointed a new government on Tuesday, with conservative National Coalition Party (NCP) leader Petteri Orpo replacing Sanna Marin as prime minister.

Orpo will lead a coalition of the NCP, the nationalist Finns, the minority-language Swedish People's Party and the Christian Democrats, which combined won a majority of parliamentary seats in the April 2 election.
