Question: during Finnish presidential election, 1946 the parliament passed a law that enabled what  Finnish military leader and statesman born in 1867 to serve a six-year term
Context: The presidential election held on 7 October 2013, was the fourth presidential election of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to elect the country's third president.  Mulatu Teshome was elected by the parliament to a six-year term.  Incumbent president Girma Wolde-Giorgis is barred from seeking re-election due to term limits. Indirect presidential elections were held in Finland in 1946.  In 1944 the Parliament had passed a law that enabled Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim to serve a six-year term.  However, he resigned on 4 March 1946, giving as his reason his declining health and his view that the tasks he had been selected to carry out had been accomplished.  An election was held in Parliament to appoint his successor.  Juho Kusti Paasikivi was elected with 159 of the 200 votes. Two-stage presidential elections were held in Finland in 1931.  On 15 and 16 January the public elected presidential electors to an electoral college.  They in turn elected the President.  The result was a victory for Pehr Evind Svinhufvud, who won on the third ballot by just two votes.  The turnout for the popular vote was 47.3%.  This presidential election was held during an ideologically, politically, socially and economically tense time.  The Great Depression was impoverishing many Finnish farmers and workers.  The far-right Lapua Movement had not settled for the ban of the Communist Party and its affiliated organizations in the autumn of 1930.  It wanted to help elect a President who would also strongly oppose the Social Democrats and moderate bourgeois parties, such as the Progressives.  Although Svinhufvud disapproved of the Lapua Movement's violent kidnappings of left-wing politicians and other illegal acts, he was their preferred presidential candidate.  Former President K.J. Ståhlberg, a champion of democracy, parliamentarism and the rule of law, had been briefly kidnapped by some activists of the Lapua Movement with his wife in October 1930.  He was chosen as the Progressive presidential candidate.  Speaker of the Finnish Parliament, Kyösti Kallio, held ideals similar to those of Ståhlberg, and he became the Agrarian presidential candidate.  The outgoing President, Lauri Kristian Relander, had lost the Agrarian presidential candidacy to Kallio, because he did not condemn the Lapua Movement as strongly as Kallio did, and a sufficient number of Agrarians believed that Kallio could control the Lapua Movement's extremists more effectively than Relander.  Right-wing Finns and some centrists, such as a prominent Agrarian parliamentarian, Juho Niukkanen, were concerned that Ståhlberg's re-election (after a six-year break) as the Finnish President would escalate political tensions in Finland.  The Commander-in-Chief of the Civil Guards (a bourgeois voluntary defence organization), Major General Lauri Malmberg, announced in the Finnish Parliament that he would not guarantee order among the Civil Guards, if Ståhlberg was elected President.  Svinhufvud's razor-thin victory required Niukkanen's arm-twisting tactics, whereby he pressured all the Agrarian presidential electors to support Svinhufvud.  This 69-year-old and slightly ailing conservative politician was considered by his supporters as a sufficiently bold, solid and patriotic man to re-unite the ideologically divided Finns.  His pro-democracy supporters hoped that he could keep both right-wing extremists and left-wing extremists in check (see, for example, Sakari Virkkunen, Finland's Presidents I / Suomen presidentit I. Helsinki: Otava Ltd., 1994, pgs.  242-245 (Relander), pgs.  11-14 (Svinhufvud); Pentti Virrankoski, A History of Finland / Suomen historia, volumes 1&2.  Helsinki: Finnish Literature Society / Suomalaisen kirjallisuuden seura, 2009, pgs.  810-816; Raimo Salokangas, "The Independent Republic" (Itsenäinen tasavalta), pgs.  635-639 in Seppo Zetterberg et al., eds., A Small Giant of the Finnish History / Suomen historian pikkujättiläinen.  Helsinki: WSOY, 2003). The Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections of 2004 was held on Monday, May 10, 2004.  In the presidential election, incumbent president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo won a full six-year term as President, with a margin of just over one million votes over her leading opponent, highly popular movie actor Fernando Poe, Jr. The 3.48% margin of victory is the closest margin in Philippine presidential election history. Presidential elections were held in the Philippines on May 11, 1998.  In the presidential election, Vice President Joseph Estrada won a six-year term as President by a landslide victory.  In the vice-presidential race, Senator Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo won a six-year term as Vice President also by a landslide victory.  This was the third election where both president and vice president came from different parties. Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (] ; 4 June 1867 – 27 January 1951) was a Finnish military leader and statesman.  Mannerheim served as the military leader of the Whites in the Finnish Civil War, Regent of Finland (1918–1919), commander-in-chief of Finland's defence forces during World War II, Marshal of Finland, and the sixth president of Finland (1944–1946). Paavo Tapio Lipponen (   ) (born 23 April 1941) is a Finnish politician and former reporter.  He was Prime Minister of Finland from 1995 to 2003, and Chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Finland from 1993 to 2005.  He also served as Speaker of the Parliament of Finland from 2003 to 2007 and was his party's nominee in the 2012 Finnish presidential election but received only 6.7% of the votes, making it the biggest defeat the Social Democratic Party has ever had in Finnish Presidential elections. Mannerheimintie (Swedish: "Mannerheimvägen" ), named after the Finnish military leader and statesman Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, is the main street of Helsinki, Finland.  It was originally named Heikinkatu (Swedish: "Henriksgatan" ), after Robert Henrik Rehbinder, but was renamed after the Winter War.  The change of name was also suitable due to Mannerheim having paraded in along that road during the Finnish Civil War (1918), after German forces allied with Mannerheim's Finnish forces had retaken the city.  That event is also portrayed in the landmark statue of Mannerheim sitting horseback.  The statue is located along the Mannerheimintie just outside the modern arts museum Kiasma. Presidential elections, legislative elections and local elections were held in the Philippines on May 11, 1998.  In the presidential election, Vice President Joseph Estrada won a six-year term as President by a landslide victory.  In the vice-presidential race, Senator Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo won a six-year term as Vice President also by a landslide victory.  This was the third election where both president and vice president came from different parties. Percy Mahendra "Mahinda" Rajapaksa, MP (Sinhalese: මහින්ද රාජපක්ෂ (පර්සි මහේන්ද්‍ර රාජපක්ෂ) , ] , Tamil: மகிந்த ராசபக்ச ; born 18 November 1945) is a Sri Lankan politician who served as the sixth President of Sri Lanka from 19 November 2005 to 9 January 2015.  A lawyer by profession, Rajapaksa was first elected to the Parliament of Sri Lanka in 1970, and he served as prime minister from 6 April 2004 until his victory in the 2005 presidential election.  He was sworn in for his first six-year term as president on 19 November 2005.  He was re-elected for a second term on 27 January 2010.  He was defeated in his bid for a third term in the 2015 presidential election by Maithripala Sirisena and left office on 9 January 2015.
