The second-largest and former ruling Democrat Party has made resolution for its lawmakers to abstain from voting.
Almost 60 percent or 296 of all 500 lawmakers voted in favor of Yingluck to be the first female prime minister of the country.
Since Yingluck was the only candidate, lawmakers were asked to vote "in favor", "against" or "abstain".
Pheu Thai Party led by Yingluck won 265 seats in the general election on July 3.
"Based on the vote result, Yingluck Shinawatra received more than half of the House seats in favor, making her the (new) prime minister," announced House speaker Somsak Kietsuranon before he adjourned the House meeting.
