Marin, 34, the transport minister, takes over following the resignation of Antti Rinne.
Finland’s transportation minister Sanna Marin was selected by her Social Democratic party on Sunday to become the country’s youngest prime minister ever, taking over after the resignation of Antti Rinne.
Rinne resigned last Tuesday after a party in the coalition, the Centre Party, said it had lost confidence in him following his handling of a postal strike. Marin has had a swift rise in Finnish politics since becoming head of the city council of her industrial hometown of Tampere at the age of 27.
