The path to presidency Halonen announced in 1999 that she wished to run as a candidate for President in the 2000 Presidential election. In the 1994 election, for the first time, another woman, Elisabeth Rehn, had come very close to victory, inspiring Halonen and her supporters. After Halonen's announcement, the Social Democratic party made a decision to hold a preliminary election to decide its candidate. In these elections Halonen ran against Pertti Paasio, a member of the European Parliament and former party chairman, and Jacob Söderman, the EU Ombudsman. The incumbent, Martti Ahtisaari, refused to run in party preliminaries and thus announced that he would not run for a second term. Märta Elisabeth Rehn (born April 6, 1935 in Helsingfors (fi. ...

While Halonen started from the fourth place in the polls, in the presidential election she got the most votes, 40.0% of popular votes. The nearest opponent, the former Prime Minister Esko Aho of the Centre Party, got 34.4%.

In the second round, Ms. Halonen narrowly defeated her opponent with 51.6% against 48.4% thus becoming Finland's first female President. Her first term began on March 1, 2000.

Presidency
 Arms of Tarja Kaarina Halonen | After her narrow election victory in the first election, Halonen's approval ratings rose and reached the peak of 88% in December 2003. In the most recent survey made in February 12, 2006 her approval rate was at 74%. She is widely regarded as an easily approachable and down-to-earth person. Halonen has often been compared to "Moominmamma", a mother-figure from the comic strips and books created by Tove Jansson. Many people appreciate that she has made a career from modest circumstances due to her own competence, which has great value for meritocracy-minded Finns. Halonen was nominated as one of the top ten members of the "Suuret Suomalaiset" (greatest Finns) TV special in 2004, the only living person to be included.

Her lifestyle has caused some consternation, but her independent attitude has also brought her admiration. In the 1960s, she quit the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, to which the majority of Finns belong, to protest against its policy of taxing church members, and its stance against female priests. Today, the church accepts women as priests, and Halonen has stated that she has no personal reason not to return to the church but refrains from doing so in order not to give a signal that might be misinterpreted.[1] In 1990's, Halonen acted as the chairman of Suomen setlementtiliitto, a Christian social work organization.[2] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

Also giving his tongue-in-cheek support was the American talk show host Conan O'Brien. After discovering that he was ry popular in Finland, he attributed it to the fact that he looks like Tarja Halonen. When he found out that she was up for reelection, he wanted her to win because "I like looking like the president of a country, even if it is a woman". He went as far as producing mock campaign ads, and attack ads against her opponents.

In 2003, a widely publicised incident occurred when member of parliament Tony Halme mistakenly referred to Tarja Halonen as a lesbian. In a radio interview, Halme referred to his background of growing up "n the streets", and said: "We have a lesbian as president and me as parliamentarian. Everything seems possible."[5] Although Halme intended to refer to social mobility with his comment, it was interpreted as an insult by much of the media. Halonen herself ade no comment. Halme later apologized saying he had been misunderstood.[6] According to her authorized biography published in 2005, Halonen is critical of some unnamed members of the Finnish civil service for being gay or lesbian and not coming out and campaigning for sexual equality. She accused these closeted homosexuals of reaping the benefits of other people's work for sexual equality without contributing themselves.

Resemblance to Conan O'Brien On the October 11, 2005 episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, host O'Brien mentioned that a Finnish man in the audience had observed that O'Brien resembled the President of Finland.

Halonen's appearance in American popular culture received some publicity in Finland.
