Who is Patongtarn Shinawatra, who became the youngest Prime Minister of Thailand

Paetongtarn Shinawatra: Patongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has become the Prime Minister of the country. Thailand’s Parliament on Friday elected Patongtarn Shinawatra as the Prime Minister of the country. She became the Prime Minister of Thailand after receiving the royal approval letter on Sunday.

Recently, the country’s Supreme Court removed Shretha Thavisin from the post of PM in a case of ethics violation. Patongtarn Shinawatra will be the new leader of the Pheu Thai Party who will replace Shretha Thavisin. Patongtarn will now lead the same coalition, which includes military parties associated with the coup of the previous government.

Patongtarn Shinawatra is currently 37 years old and has become the youngest Prime Minister of the country. Along with this, she is the third member of the Shinawatra family who has become the PM of the country. Patongtarn Shinawatra has become the second woman Prime Minister of Thailand. Before Patongtarn, her billionaire father Thaksin Shinawatra and aunt Yingluck Shinawatra have been the Prime Minister of Thailand. Patongtarn has become the second woman Prime Minister of the country after her aunt.

Father and daughter arrived together
Thaksin and Yingluck were ousted from power through a coup and had to flee the country. However, Thaksin returned to Thailand last year to form the government of the Pheu Thai Party. On Sunday, Patongtarn Shinawatra was given the appointment letter at the party headquarters in Bangkok. During this time, senior members of the party alliance and his father Thaksin were also present.

It is believed that Thaksin has no role in this government, but he is considered the real leader of the party. During this program, father and daughter arrived in the same car. People saw them smiling and holding each other’s hands.

After receiving the appointment letter, Patongtarn thanked the Thai King and other MPs. During this, she said that she will perform her duties with an open mind.
