Thailand’s parliament has picked Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of billionaire tycoon and former leader Thaksin, as prime minister.
At 37, she will be the country’s youngest PM and the second woman in the post, after her aunt Yingluck.
Her selection comes just two days after former PM Srettha Thavisin was dismissed by a constitutional court.
Both are from the Pheu Thai Party, which came second at the 2023 election but formed a ruling coalition.
Ms Paetongtarn faces the difficult task of reviving Thailand’s stalled economy and avoiding the military coups and court interventions which have deposed four previous administrations led by her party.
