Tengrinews.kz - The House of Representatives of Thailand elected Pheu Thai Party leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra as the 31st Prime Minister of Thailand, citing Bangkok Post.
Earlier that day, the Pheu Thai Party nominated Paetongtarn Shinawatra as the sole candidate for the position of Prime Minister.
Out of 493 elected representatives in the House, 489 were present at the session. A majority of 248 votes was required to win. Paetongtarn Shinawatra secured 319 votes, while 145 were against, and 27 abstained.
Notably, politician herself was not present at the meeting.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra has become the youngest Prime Minister in Thailand's history at 37 years old. She is the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Thaksin Shinawatra led the government from 2001 to 2006. His sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, held the same position from 2013 to 2014.
To recap, Thailand's 30th Prime Minister, Srettha Thavisin, lost his position after appointing a minister with a long-standing criminal record.
