Yingluck Shinawatra (Thai: ยิ่งลักษณ์ ชินวัตร, RTGS: Yinglak Chinnawat; born 21 June 1967) is the current president of Bangkok-based property developer SC Asset Co., Ltd., and the youngest sister of Thailand's fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. In May 2011, Thailand's opposition Pheu Thai Party — which maintains close ties with the ousted premier — nominated Yingluck as their candidate for prime minister in the 2011 Thailand general elections. Intial election results indicated that her party has won at least 310 seats in the 500-seat House of Representatives of Thailand, more than enough to form a majority government. Yingluck is set to become Thailand's first female prime minister.
