Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit has been appointed acting Prime Minister for just one day after Petongtarn Shinawatra was suspended by the Constitutional Court. The suspension followed a leaked phone call with Cambodian leader Hun Sen, raising concerns over ethical breaches. Suriya began his brief tenure by attending a ceremony marking the 93rd anniversary of the Prime Minister’s Office. He will transfer power to Phumtham Wechayachai on Thursday following a cabinet reshuffle. Suriya made no public comments, calling only the power handover his priority.
Petongtarn Shinawatra has been temporarily suspended from her role as Prime Minister of Thailand. Following her suspension, Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit immediately assumed the role of acting Prime Minister.
