Meet Sanna Marin, world's youngest prime minister from Finland

A Finnish politician is set to become the world's youngest sitting prime minister.

Sanna Marin, Finland's 34-year-old transportation minister, will also become the country's youngest ever prime minister when she is sworn in tomorrow.

On Sunday, Marin narrowly won a vote among Social Democrat lawmakers and replaces outgoing Prime Minister Antti Rinne, who resigned on Tuesday after coalition partner the Centre Party said it had lost confidence in him over his handling of a postal workers' strike.

The prime minister-elect told reporters that she has "a lot of work ahead to rebuild trust,".

Marin rose through the ranks after leading the city council of her industrial hometown Tampere when she was 27.

The five major parties in Finland's parliament are now all led by women.

Last week, Marin was at the EU institutions in Brussels for a meeting of EU Transport ministers.
