Yingluck Shinawatra, the sister of the former exiled Prime Minister, could become the first female prime minister of Thailand.

Yingluck’s Puea Thai party is widely popular among the poor and rural of the country.

Only 44, Yingluck has been criticized for being a “puppet” of her exiled brother Thaksin, but there is a good chance she could win.
The election is this Sunday.
