Paetongtarn Shinawatra becomes Thailand’s next PM, youngest ever
Thailand’s youngest Prime Minister in history is well into her first day on the job.
A majority of MPs approved 37-year-old Peartongtarn Shinawat, (orig: Paetongtarn Shinawatra) a member of the largest party in the governing coalition, Pheu Pur Thai.
She’s the daughter of Thaksin Shinawat, a former prime minister who remains influential, despite spending 15 years in self-imposed exile.
