The second-largest and former ruling Democrat Party has made resolution for its lawmakers to abstain from voting.
Among 197 legislators who abstained were Yingluck herself, the House speaker and his two deputies, but mostly from opposition parties including Democrat Party, Bhumjai Thai and Rak Thailand.
Since Yingluck was the only candidate, lawmakers were asked to vote "in favor", "against" or "abstain".
Almost 60 percent or 296 of all 500 lawmakers voted in favor of Yingluck to be the first female prime minister of the country.
