Finland on Sunday, 9 December, appointed 34-year-old parliamentarian Sanna Marin as its prime minister, making her the world\u2019s youngest serving PM and the country\u2019s youngest-ever leader.<\/p>\n

She is also the third woman to head Finland\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

The outgoing leader and former president of the Social Democratic Party, Antti Rinne, resigned on Tuesday, 3 December, after losing the confidence of the coalition partner Centre Party, paving the way for Marin to become the PM, reported\u00a0The Guardian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Centre Party withdrew its support to Rinne after the government\u2019s now-scrapped plan to cut wages for 700 postal workers spiraled into a political crisis with widespread protests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sanna Marin has had a meteoric rise ever since she became the head of her hometown Tampere\u2019s city council at the age of 27, according to\u00a0The Guardian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Former vice president of the Social Democratic Party, she was elected to the Finnish parliament for the first time in 2015 from the industrial district of Pirkanmaa in southern Finland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The 34-year-old narrowly beat Ukraine\u2019s 35-year-old leader Oleksiy Honcharuk and New Zealand\u2019s Jacinda Ardern, 39, to become the youngest PM on Sunday.<\/p>\n

All five parties in Finland\u2019s ruling coalition are now led by women: Li Anderson, 32, (Left Alliance); Maria Ohisalo, 34, (Green League); Katri Kulmuni, 32, (Centre Party); Anna-Maja Henriksson, 55, (Swedish People\u2019s Party).<\/p>\n
