Little experience and a lot on her plate: who is Thailand’s new prime minister?
Paetongtarn Shinawatra is the fourth member of her family to lead Thailand, but she faces a country that has moved on from her father’s era
Paetongtarn Shinawatra comes from one of the most influential and divisive families in Thai politics. Her father Thaksin was once considered unbeatable at the ballot box, and she is the fourth member of the family to lead the country.
But much has changed since the peak of her father’s popularity, and Paetongtarn – Thailand’s youngest ever prime minister – will probably face an uphill battle in office.
