Meet Youngest PM Ever Sanna Marin

On Sunday, the Social Democrats of Finland elected the youngest prime minister in the country's history.

Marin is Finland`s former 34-year-old transport minister. "We have a lot of work ahead to rebuild trust," Marin told the press Sunday night.

She tried to avoid answering questions about her age saying: "I never thought about my age or my gender as a woman, but I think about the reasons that pushed me to politics and that led me to gain the confidence of the voters."

She became one of the youngest heads of government in the world. She is younger than the 35-year-old Oleksiy Honcharuk.

The former prime minister had ruled on the basis of the five-party Left Alliance since last June.

The appointment of Marin is not expected to lead to major political change at the level of the Social Democrats administration.

"We have a joint government program that we have committed to," said the new prime minister.

Her party won the legislative elections in April, against the backdrop of promises to end years of austerity led by the center-left coalition to get Finland out of the recession.

The 34-year-old Marin, whose party is the largest in a five-member governing coalition, will be the world’s youngest serving prime minister when she takes office in the coming days. She is also Finland’s third female government leader.

Marin, born on November 16, 1985, has been a Member of Parliament in Finland since 2015 and has held the position of Minister of Communications and Transport since last June.

In 2013 to 2017, she assumed the presidency of Tampere, Finland, and was elected Vice-President of the Social Democratic Party in 2014.
