BANGKOK: Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of Thailand’s most popular political kingdom, was sworn in as prime minister on Friday ( Sep 6), capping a quarter of tumult in which her father was thrown out of business and the major opposition group dissolved.
Paetongtarn, the youngest child of controversial former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, took the oath in a closed-door meeting with King Maha Vajiralongkorn around 6.15pm, actually becoming Thailand’s youngest perfect minister.
The 38-year-old is the second part of the Shinawatra political kingdom to guide the country in the past 23 times, following her father and her uncle, Yingluck Shinawatra.
The prince congratulated her fresh Cabinet, saying in a statement helved on tv news:” I trust that you will do your tasks with excellence.”
Srettha Thavisin, from her Pheu Thai group, was abruptly removed by the village’s Constitutional Court in mid-August for appointing a Cabinet secretary with a criminal conviction by Paetongtarn.
She assumes control of Southeast Asia’s second-largest market, where social unrest persists and development stagnates.
Her 36-member Cabinet includes eight people, a record, according to public journalist Thai PBS.
Paetongtarn, a relative newcomer to elections, urged her group’s foes on Thursday to grant her a chance.
” Please be kind to me, please do n’t throw any lawsuits on me, I am trying my best”, she told reporters.
