• ... that Finnish politician Maija Perho (pictured) encouraged future president Sauli Niinistö to join the National Coalition Party in the 1960s? Source: "Maija Riitta Perho ... encouraged Sauli Niinistö to join the student organisation of the National Coalition Party of Finland in 1968." [1]

• The president of Finland is a nonpartisan position. It would be more relevant to mention him being the party leader during the late 90s (and that she served as the party secretary around the same time). Joofjoof (talk) 06:22, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
  • The election isn't a fully nonpartisan process as parties may still nominate presidential candidates, but here's an alternate hook. DanCherek (talk) 12:13, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
    • ALT1: ... that Maija Perho (pictured) encouraged Sauli Niinistö to join the National Coalition Party of Finland in the 1960s, three decades before they respectively became the NCP's secretary and chair? DanCherek (talk) 12:13, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Approve ALT0. ALT1 is not approved because the article doesn't mention that Sauli became chair of the party, thus I have struck it out. I'm fine with mentioning that Perho recruited the future president into the party, even if the president is a non-partisan position, as presidents seem to be elected under a party banner. I support adding the exact year of Niinisto's recruitment (1968) instead of "in the 1960s" to the hook. Ping me if there are any concerns. Z1720 (talk) 21:05, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
