Paetongtarn Shinawatra becomes Thailand 's second female prime minister after her aunt and the country's youngest leader at 37 .

The last prime minister was removed by the Constitutional Court two days ago over an ethics violation.

Her father, ousted by a military coup in 2006 , was widely seen as a de facto leader of Pheu Thai .

The court dissolved the progressive Move Forward party last week after it was blocked from taking power.

The coalition under the leadership of Paetongtarn could strengthen their unity.

Srettha does not have a direct line to her powerful father who has the final say.

"In a strange way, it creates a clear chain of command and curbs factionalism," says Napon Jatusripitak .
