She succeeds in both roles former prime minister and party leader Anne Rinne, who stepped down as premier in December 2019 after just six months in the wake of a dispute with coalition partner the Centre Party.
Marin has been credited with strong leadership through the coronavirus pandemic. Under her, as under Rinne, Finland is led by a five-party governing coalition, including the Social Democrats, the Centre, the Greens, the Left and the Swedish People's Party of Finland.
All five coalition partners have been lead by women for some time.
