FIRST FEMALE LEADER FOR THAILAND
THAILAND voted in its first female leader last night. Yingluck Shinawatra, the sister of former Thai Prime Minister and Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra – who was toppled in a bloodless coup in 2006 – was on course to win an outright majority of 262. Outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva conceded defeat.
