The newly elected Prime Minister of Thailand promised to elevate the well-being of the Thai people after yesterday’s Parliament meeting to select a new PM. However, the scheduled royal ceremony for the installation of the new PM at 8pm encountered a delay.

 

During the Parliament meeting to select a new PM, the Pheu Thai Party’s candidate, Srettha Tavisin, managed to secure the position with an impressive 482 votes out of a total of 747 from Members of Parliament and senators. Among 165 members who voted no, 147 were members of the Move Forward Party (MFP).

 

Srettha, the 30th PM of Thailand, gave a short speech to the media after his victory.


“Thank you to every Thai person, every government coalition party, every honoured MP, and every senator who attended Parliament to select a new PM today. I will do my best. I will work tirelessly for the better lives of every Thai person. Thank you.”

Yes, the all ' vow' in the beginning, soon to forget or come up with excuses why they didn't keep their vows, as they say, new broom sweeps well, time will tell.

The majority of "Thai person" voted for Pita but you most definately can thank the junta non elected senators because without them you woudn't be PM. Pita would.

Seriously - was there ANY value to the people holding an election other than to rub their noses in the futility of this pointless waste of time?

No need to thank the people. They did not vote for you, nor do they want you. Time will tell if you are capable of doing anything productive. You will still be dictated to, by your masters, who do not have good intentions. 

 

Thailand mourns. For now, it's future has been stolen once again by the army thieves and goons. The army is no doubt the enemy of the people, and so is the new stooge PM.

Is 'elevating well being' the same as 'bringing happiness to the people'? I'll wait with bated breath.

Are his lips moving again?

 

Lies and drivel his actions speak volumes....

Now where did we hear all that before?

Happy, unified and prosperous......

...allowing Prayut to control the military reshuffle...

The courts haven't cleared the new PM of claims of of tax avoidedence yet have they?

Still room for the watchman to get the nod from the top.

I will believe when I see it.

TiT.

Maybe him upstairs has got something to say about which direction the government is to go in. It's his way or the highway Mr Taweesin, as you're about to find out.

Let’s hope that something positive for the people. ….
