Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been elected as Thailand's youngest-ever prime minister at 37, succeeding Srettha Thavisin who was dismissed by the Constitutional Court. Paetongtarn, who had no prior government experience, won the parliamentary vote with 319 out of 491 votes. She becomes the country's second female prime minister and the third from the Shinawatra family, following her father Thaksin and her aunt Yingluck. Her election marks a significant moment for the Shinawatra political dynasty, which has faced ongoing power struggles with the military and political elites. Paetongtarn has expressed her commitment to advancing the country despite the economic challenges and political tensions she inherits. Her governance will be closely watched as she navigates the legacy and influence of her controversial family.
