Thailand Endorses New Senate:

Thailand's Election Commission has endorsed 200 new senators, replacing the military-appointed upper house. The new senate will vet laws and appoint key officials but not vote on the prime minister. This change could challenge Pheu Thai party's governance. The shift marks a gain for Bhumjaithai, reducing the influence of Thaksin Shinawatra's Pheu Thai. This could impede Pheu Thai's promise to revise the military-drafted constitution.
