Srettha Receives Royal Endorsement as 30th Prime Minister of Thailand
by: Paul Rujopakarn

 

    
BANGKOK (NNT) - The 30th Prime Minister of Thailand has received royal assent, signifying the official acknowledgment of his new role.

 

Srettha Thavisin, a member of Thailand’s Pheu Thai party, received royal endorsement, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the house speaker.

 

He secured parliamentary support to become the kingdom’s next prime minister, bringing an end to post-election uncertainty.

 

His victory was confirmed with 482 out of 727 present MPs voting in favor, following legal discussions and negotiations.

 

Coinciding with the parliamentary vote, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, a prominent figure of the Pheu Thai party, returned from years of self-imposed exile.

 

Though relatively new to the political scene, Srettha will lead an alliance of 11 parties in his capacity as prime minister.

One can really not make this theatre show up anymore. What is next, Thaksin pardon tomorrow? I give up on Thailand to ever change, but still better than WEF puppet countries.

Next election will be fascinating.

The old guard have no more tricks left.

MF have to sustain the outrage of the masses for possibly 4 more years.

 

Will the dam wall finally burst?

Doubt it will, same it never happens in Paris. As long most people have jobs and food, they won't do a thing but protest for max a few days.

Voting takes very little effort and involves zero risk - no protests required, just conviction and patience.

And a very large brown envelope along with a trip to the Temple to clear your "conscious" if you have one!
