Social Democratic MP Miapetra Kumpula-Natri has been released from her parliamentary duties and will leave Parliament at the end of September.

Kumpula-Natri requested the release in late June because she is set to join the executive group of Technology Industries of Finland. She will become the organization’s director responsible for EU and trade policy and exports.

The Speaker’s Council supported her request on Wednesday, clearing the way for her departure. Kumpula-Natri will begin her new job at the start of October.

Former Social Democratic Party leader and ex-prime minister Antti Rinne is expected to enter Parliament in her place.
