Sanni Grahn-Laasonen, Finland's Minister of Social Affairs, announced that she is expecting her third child, with the due date set for the summer. The minister shared her news with Forssan Lehti, revealing that she is currently halfway through her pregnancy. In light of this new family addition, she plans to go on parental leave in the fall.

Grahn-Laasonen reassured the public that she intends to return to her role as Minister of Social Affairs in January after her leave. This announcement comes as she prepares for upcoming commitments, including standing as a candidate in the parliamentary elections scheduled for spring 2027. Her commitment to returning to politics demonstrates her dedication to her role and her party, the National Coalition Party.

While she is on leave, the National Coalition Party will appoint a temporary replacement to ensure that the responsibilities of the Ministry are met during her absence. This decision underscores the party's commitment to maintaining continuity in governance, even as Grahn-Laasonen navigates her responsibilities as a mother and a politician.
