Sanna Marin from Finland is set to become the youngest prime minister in Finland’s history and the world’s youngest prime minister at the age of just 34.
The transport minister, who will be sworn in later this week, was picked by her Social Democratic party after its leader, Antti Rinne, quit as PM.
She will lead a center-left coalition with four other parties, all headed by women, three of whom are under 35.
Mr. Rinne stepped down after losing the confidence of a coalition member over his handling of a postal strike.
When she takes office, Sanna Marin will be the world’s youngest sitting prime minister. New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern is 39, while Ukrainian premier Oleksiy Honcharuk is 35.
