Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Thailand’s youngest prime minister and scion to the country’s most prominent political dynasty, may lose power barely a year after taking the top political office.

Paetongtarn has faced growing dissatisfaction over her handling of the latest border dispute with Cambodia, involving an armed confrontation on May 28 in which one Cambodian soldier was killed.

It was a Thai court decision last year that swept Paetongtarn Shinawatra into the prime minister's office and now, once again, the fate of the 38-year-old novice politician lies in the hands of the judiciary.
