Yingluck receiving flowers from supporters\u003cbr/\u003eThe woman poised to become Thailand's first female prime minister has acknowledged huge challenges in reconciling her divided country, after her Pheu Thai Party won a landslide victory in Thailand's parliamentary elections.\u003cbr/\u003eYingluck Shinawatra, whose brother was ousted from the prime ministerial post in a 2006 military coup, is set to become Thailand's first female leader, after a vote that marks a significant political comeback for her brother Thaksin Shinawatra.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, supporters in the capital Bangkok expressed hope that Yingluck will bring change to the country's politics. \u003cbr/\u003eAoun Khunmeuang is a supporter of Yingluck and a street food seller in Bangkok.\u003cbr/\u003eShe is looking forward to the the new leadership and believes Thailand is moving on the right path.\u003cbr/\u003eThe photogenic Yingluck has long been seen as the front-runner in the vote. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the fact that her popularity is almost entirely due to her being the proxy of Thaksin, who has called her \"my clone\", does not convince some analysts. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I don't think that for an ordinary female teenager growing up, they could look at this as a way forward for women's rights, although as a woman, I would tend to give her the benefit of the doubt,\" said Pirongrong Ramasoota, Communications Arts Lecturer at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite the political background and the Shinawatra family's populist programmes, such as subsidised housing and health care, younger Thais look forward to the change in their country's political establishment.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm excited to see how things will be for us in the future. Since I was born, we've only had male prime ministers. I think we can expect new things to come - of course there will be both good and bad, but we'll have to see how we move forward,\" said Parichat Thaenboon, a university student in Bangkok.\u003cbr/\u003eYingluck has also expressed hope that her new position will give a voice to women.\u003cbr/\u003e\"As a woman, I'm very happy that the people gave me this opportunity. I believe women are just as determined as men. Today women are equal to men, and now we have to respect the rights of all, whether they are women or men,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 2006 military coup that ousted Thaksin Shinawatra sharply polarised Thai society, opening up a struggle between his supporters and opponents that culminated in protests and street battles that roiled Bangkok last year and took 90 lives as the army restored order.\u003cbr/\u003eThe military eased concerns of renewed turmoil on Monday by declaring acceptance of the sweeping electoral win of Yingluck's pro-Thaksin Pheu Thai Party.\u003cbr/\u003eThe lower house of parliament has 30 days to convene, and another 30 days from its first session to officially select a prime minister, but Pheu Thai's speedy agreement to form a five-party coalition is a sign that a new government can be expected ahead of the deadlines.\u003cbr/\u003ePheu Thai won an outright majority of 265 seats in the 500-seat lower house of parliament, according to preliminary results from Sunday's vote. \u003cbr/\u003eHer five-party coalition will hold 299 seats in all, a figure Yingluck described as \"auspicious\" - the number nine is considered lucky in many Asian cultures - and enough to ensure stability.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more
