Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of the divisive former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, became Thailand’s prime minister after receiving a royal letter of endorsement Sunday.
Paetongtarn needed the support of half of the 493 lawmakers in the Thai Parliament to become Prime Minister, and received 319 votes. She became the second female PM of the country at a time of deep chaos, with democratically elected governments being ousted in coups and court rulings.
