Finnish media reports state that other partygoers can be heard shouting "jauhojengi" in the background.
Al Jazeera reports that "jauhojengi" translates to "flour gang" and is Finnish slang for cocaine.
The leaked footage has prompted political opponents to call on Marin to take a voluntary drug test.
Riikka Purra, the opposition party's leader, said the footage left a "shadow of doubt" hanging over the prime minister.
On August 18, Marin denied taking drugs at the party and refuted claims that the term "jauhojengi" was being shouted in the footage.
In December 2019, Marin became Finland's youngest prime minister ever at the age of 33.

Pretty much the same as many people my age, Sanna Marin, Finnish Prime Minister, via Al Jazeera.
