Finland's Sanna Marin to become world's youngest PM

Ms Marin gained a reputation as a tough, straight-talking operator from her five years as leader of the city council in her hometown of Tampere, where she took office in 2012 aged 27.

After being selected by her Social Democratic party yesterday to replace outgoing Prime minister Antti Rinne, who quit last week over his handling of a postal strike, Ms Marin deflected questions about her age. The victory was seen by some commentators as a triumph for Finland's liberal, equal society over a party which ran on a ticket of cutting asylum levels almost to zero and halting anti-climate change measures.

Ms Marin grew up looked after by her mother and her mother's girlfriend, and said that her 'rainbow family' showed her the importance of "equality, fairness and human rights". In January this year, Ms Marin, who has a degree in public administration, admitted in a newspaper interview to liking order both in politics and in her private life.
