BANGKOK – Thailand’s legislative body is scheduled to meet Thursday, March 19, for a crucial vote to select the country’s next prime minister, according to an announcement Monday from House Speaker Sophon Zaram. The session follows the nation’s general elections held last month.
Current caretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul aims to secure his return to the top government position when the newly-elected parliament casts their ballots. His political party, Bhumjaithai, achieved a decisive win during the February 8 electoral contest, positioning him as the leading candidate for the role.
