Paetongtarn Shinawatra Becomes Thailand’s Youngest PM Amidst Political Turmoil

Advertismentspot_img

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has become Thailand’s youngest and second female prime minister, succeeding Srettha Thavisin, who was ousted following a controversial court ruling.

Paetongtarn’s rise to power marks the continuation of the Shinawatra family’s political legacy, though she faces significant challenges, including managing old adversaries, reviving Thailand’s economy, and maintaining a fragile coalition with former military-linked opponents.

Her leadership comes at a turbulent time, with recent court rulings ousting Srettha and disbanding the popular Move Forward party, leading to accusations of judicial interference in democracy.

Paetongtarn, who campaigned vigorously despite being pregnant, has been criticized for leaning on her family name, with her father Thaksin still seen as a significant influence in Thai politics.
