The new cabinet was endorsed by the King on Friday from 6 political parties with 16 Pheu Thai ministers including Mr Srettha Thavisin as both Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. On Saturday, Prime Minister Srettha wished the Shinawatra family well and expressed goodwill towards former Premier Thaksin Shinawatra whose eight-year prison sentence was commuted by King Maha Vajiralongkorn in a Royal pardon on Thursday to one year and later published in the Royal Gazette.


Former lawyer to Thaksin Shinawatra, Mr Pichit Chuenban, who was tipped as Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office was eventually not appointed with the role going to Pheu Thai’s Puangpet Chunlaiad.

 

The new government sees ministers from six political parties in the cabinet with sixteen of them coming from the ruling Pheu Thai Party. 


Thursday was the last day at the office at Government House for General Prayut Chan Ocha when he countersigned the Royal Pardon commuting former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s sentence to one year.

 

On Saturday, the new Prime Minister was meeting sectoral interests as his new 34-member cabinet was endorsed by the King on Friday. The new cabinet is expected to be sworn in over the coming days, possibly on Tuesday, September 5th.

 

The Royal Gazette has endorsed the new cabinet headed by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

This might well become the worst and most corrupt government Thailand has ever seen, and that would be quite an accomplishment.

 

United in kleptomania, that's pretty much all these coalition partners have in common. 

Just like I said why bother with elections.  The coup happen for one reason 2014, to take control prevent fighting from the Red, if the man passes. After it took those who put puppet 0 as the face to reconstruct a constitution that was taken to the big house for approval it was only then a election was allowed to be held as we know now it is just a show for Thais who actually think they have a choice like they did with Pita. 

There is only one guy that matters.
