Thailand's parliament voted on Friday for Paetongtarn Shinawatra to be the countrys next prime minister, two days after Thailands Constitutional Court removed former premier Srettha Thavisin from office. Paetongtarn won 319 votes in the House of Representatives, after being nominated as the sole candidate by her Pheu Thai partys ruling coalition to replace Srettha. She still needs to be endorsed by King Maha Vajiralongkorn before she can officially take office and appoint a Cabinet.. Paetongtarn, 37, will be Thailands second female prime minister - after her aunt Yingluck Shinawatra - and the youngest to hold the position. Source : Qatar News Agency
