HS: Support for Halla-aho surges, opening door for spot in second round
JUSSI HALLA-AHO (PS) finds himself in a close fight for a place in the second round of the looming presidential elections, having seen his popularity surge from 13 to 18 per cent in the past month, reveals an opinion poll commissioned by Helsingin Sanomat.
Halla-aho is thereby within touching distance of the two leading candidates, Alexander Stubb (NCP) and Pekka Haavisto (Greens).
