BANGKOK — Political newcomer Paetongtarn Shinawatra has emerged as Thailand's youngest prime minister, securing parliamentary support just a day after her ally, Srettha Thavisin, was dismissed from office. The 37-year-old, daughter of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, garnered over 51% of the votes amid a turbulent political landscape marked by ongoing power struggles among elite factions. Her ascension comes at a critical time for the Shinawatra family, whose political influence has waned following their first electoral defeat in over two decades
