Constitution 731/1999 §61: the Eduskunta elects the prime minister after parliamentary groups negotiate the programme and composition; the President then appoints. The new Eduskunta's term begins only when the result is confirmed (§24), so no prime minister before 21 Apr 2027. The negotiations have no statutory deadline.
