Thailand’s newly elected Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has formed her cabinet, with a mix of familiar faces and fresh additions. The Pheu Thai Party, led by the Shinawatra family, dominates the lineup with 17 positions. The cabinet’s key priorities include economic stimulus measures and the implementation of a cannabis bill.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been officially endorsed as Thailand’s new Prime Minister by King Maha Vajiralongkorn. This follows her election by parliament on Friday. Paetongtarn, at 37, is the youngest person to hold this position and faces significant challenges, including a struggling economy and the need to deliver on her party’s key promises.
