Thailand Welcomes Paetongtarn Shinawatra as Its Youngest Prime Minister

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of the controversial former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been sworn in as Thailand's youngest prime minister in a ceremony with King Maha Vajiralongkorn. Her ascent to the prime ministerial position marks the continuation of the Shinawatra political dynasty, amidst a backdrop of political turmoil including the ousting of her predecessor and the dissolution of the main opposition party. This historic event not only highlights a significant shift in Thailand's political landscape but also brings attention to the enduring influence of the Shinawatra family in Thai politics.
