In May 2016, Orpo announced that he would challenge the leader of the National Coalition Party and incumbent Minister of Finance Alexander Stubb in June's party conference. Orpo received 441,4 votes against Stubb's 361 and was thus elected as the new leader for the party. Orpo soon announced that he would take Stubb's seat as the Minister of Finance.
