Profile: Yingluck Shinawatra

Born in 1967, Yingluck Shinawatra first carved out a career in the corporate world before joining politics.

She was managing director of AIS, the telecommunications firm her brother founded, and managing director of SC Asset Company, a family firm involved in property.

Before the 2011 election, Ms Yingluck, who has two degrees in politics, had never run for office or held a government post.

Critics were quick to point out her political inexperience, saying her main qualification appeared to be the fact that she was the youngest sister of Mr Thaksin, the billionaire who was ousted as prime minister by the military in 2006 and jailed in absentia for corruption.

They suggested her primary role was to marshal the Thaksin faithful - the mainly poor rural voters who kept him in power - and then serve as his proxy as he governed from overseas exile.

Ms Yingluck performed well on the campaign trail - people seemed to warm to her. The numerous supporters of Mr Thaksin backed her party Pheu Thai - which her brother founded - in 2011 polls.
