BANGKOK:-- Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has appointed 12 Cabinet members in a major reshuffle, seven of whom are current government ministers who effectively swapped seats between them.

 

The appointments were made under command of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn. The royal command, undersigned by the prime minister, was made on Thursday and announced in the Royal Gazette on Friday, with immediate effect.

 

Suwaphan Tanyuvardhana, formerly a PM’s Office minister, has become the new justice minister. He is filling the seat left vacant after the previous office holder, Paiboon Koomchaya, was appointed a privy councillor for the new King.

This seem odddly different from past cabinet reshuffles...

I looked up "Cabinet Reshuffle" on Wikipedia:

In a parliamentary government system it is mainly used to reward supporters.

In non-parliamentary government systems it's uncommon, because ministers are mainly chosen for their qualifications.

 

Make of it what you want.
