Sanna Marin soon to be world’s youngest PM at age 34
Sanna Marin, the 34-year-old current Minister of Transport and Communications of Finland is likely to become the world's youngest serving head of government.
Currently, that title is held by the 35-year-old Ukrainian Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk, who took office in May. There is no official list of the youngest Heads of State or Prime Ministers, but after Marin and Honcharuk, the list of the next youngest includes North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un (36), El Salvador President Nayib Bukele (38) and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (39).
Marin's coalition partners in Finland’s five-party government are all led by women - four of whom are under 35 years of age.
