Ghetto imagesParliament of Thailand has elected business tycoon Anutin Charnvracul as Prime Minister – the third of two years after another leader was removed from office.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra, which belongs to the most powerful political dynasty of Thailand, was Removed from the Constitutional Court Last week for ethical violations about its processing of the border dispute with Cambodia.
Anutin’s Bhumjaytay Party has removed from the Shinawatras Pheu Thai coalition and provided enough support in parliament to win Premiership.
But uncertainty may not have ended for Thailand, in which numerous administrations have been observed, removed from court interventions and military coups in the recent past.
Anutin’s rise to Prime Ministry has been hitting a significant blow to the Shinawatra family, which has dominated Thai policy since 2001, when Paathongarn’s father became prime minister.
On Thursday night, there was an intense control of a private jet carrying Taxin in the country in Thailand.
Early on Friday, he published on social media, saying that he had flew to Dubai for medical treatment and that he intended to return in time for hearing on September 9 for a court case, which could return him to prison.
His party Pheu Thai, which has become the main player of the 2023 election, is now on the sidelines. He had one last remaining candidate for the prime minister, Chaikasem Nitisiri, who has a small public profile and is in poor health.
In the past, Shinawatraras’s populist policies have given them wide support among lower-income Thai, but have been contrary to the conservative Bangkok’s conservative elite.
Both Thaksin and his sister Ingluk, who were Prime Minister after him, were removed from military coups in 2006 and 2014 respectively.
When Paetongtarn became a prime minister, he is regarded as a return to the family – but her dismissal suggests that they have again lost favor to the conservative -auspicious elite.
Ghetto imagesPaetongtarn was the Fifth Thai Prime Minister, who was removed from office by the Constitutional Court, all of them by administrations supported by her father Taxin.
She herself took office after her predecessor was fired by the same court, also for ethics violationS
And the coalition, led by Feu Thailand, formed the government only after the Reformation Party, which won the election, was prevented from doing so – before being dissolved by the Constitutional Court, and some of its leaders were banned from politics for the next 10 years.
His heir, the People’s Party, is among those who currently support Anutin. It has the most places in parliament, but it is still forbidden to form a government.
Anutin, 58, is an experienced politician and deals that in the past did not make a secret to ask for the highest work. But even he must want to receive it in better circumstances.
His Bhumjaithai Party (proud to be Thai) has only 69 seats out of 500 in parliament, which means that it can only rule with the support of one of the two largest parties.
Bhumjaithai is a well -known non -ological and transactional, and in the past has been an ally with conservative, military supported groups and recently with Pheu Thai.
He left the coalition, led by Feu Thailand, seemingly over an uncomfortable running phone between Paetongtarn and Cambodian Strongman Hun Sen, but there were other disagreements.
The only remaining option was the progressive and youthful People’s Party, the largest in parliament. But both sides make the bedrooms unlikely.
Anutin is a solid royalist. The People’s Party is not, one of the reasons its leaders were banned from politics, leaving it without a candidate eligible for prime minister. Some of his MPs have been convicted Read the majesticAnd many opposed every deal with Bhumjaithai.
But with Pheu Thai in disarray after Paetongtarn’s dismissal, there was also a chance that former prime minister and coup leader Prainith Chan-Ocha would be returned to lead the country, a perspective, even less enjoyable than to unite with Anutin.
However, the People’s Party made difficult requests to support Anutin’s premiere.
The Anutin has to agree to call elections within four months and to begin the process of amending the Constitution, a military drafted. He proposes to support only the survival of the new government until the election, not any legislation.
Thus, Anutin begins his prime minister with his hands and only four months to make an impact.
Anutin comes from a wealthy political family. His father held several ministerial wallets and founded the family construction business – he built the new Parliament complex where the prime minister’s vote was held.
Anutin is best known for liberalizing marijuana laws in Thailand when he was a health minister in 2022. He is an enthusiastic pilot who owns three planes.
His challenge now is to pilot his country from another political crisis in a very short time.
