Finland Gets World’s Youngest Serving Prime Minister

Finland’s transport minister, Sanna Marin, has been selected as the leader of the Social Democratic party which also make her Finland’s Youngest Serving Prime Minister.
The 34-year-old Marin will also be the world’s youngest serving prime minister when he will join and take the responsibility.
She is also Finland’s third female government leader.
Her appointment comes after Antti Rinne resigned on Tuesday after he failed to handle a countries postal strike.
After winning a narrow vote among the party leadership, Marin told reporters “We have a lot of work ahead to rebuild trust.”
“I have never thought about my age or gender, I think of the reasons I got into politics and those things for which we have won the trust of the electorate,” she added.
Four other parties in Finland’s coalition government are also led by women in which Li Anderson, 32 leads the Left Alliance; Maria Ohisalo, 34 leads the Green League; the Centre Party is led by Katri Kulmuni, 32; and Anna-Maja Henriksson, 55, is head of the Swedish People’s party.
In Finnish politics, Marin has had a remarkable emergence since becoming head of the city council of her industrial hometown of Tampere at the age of 27.
Lawmakers are likely to approve the appointment of Marin and her new government quickly so she can represent Finland at the 12 Dec EU leaders’ summit in Brussels.
