Thailand’s House of Representatives have elected Pheu Thai Party leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra as the country’s new prime minister.
The governing coalition led by Pheu Thai agreed to support Ms Paetongtarn’s bid for premiership on the eve of the parliamentary vote.
Ms. Paetongtarn, 37, assumed the post two days after another Pheu Thai candidate, Mr. Srettha Thavisin, was dismissed from the premiership by the Constitutional Court for the wrongful appointment of a Cabinet minister.
Ms Paetongtarn is the third Shinawatra to become PM, after her father Thaksin and her aunt Yingluck.
