Thailand’s parliament has elected Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul as the country’s new prime minister, succeeding ousted Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Backed by the liberal People’s Party, Anutin defeated Pheu Thai’s Chaikasem Nitisiri with over 247 votes, securing a parliamentary majority. He pledged to call general elections within four months, a move that helped win smaller parties’ support. Paetongtarn, Thailand’s youngest-ever premier, was dismissed last month after a court ruled she prioritized personal interests in a leaked call with Hun Sen.
Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the opposition Bhumjaithai Party, has been elected as Thailand’s new prime minister through a parliamentary vote. He is set to succeed the ousted Paetongtarn Shinawatra, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
