Thailand Elects Third Prime Minister in Two Years: Anutin Charnvirakul’s Rise Reflects Political Turmoil
Thailand’s parliament has elected business magnate and Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul as prime minister—the country’s third leader in just two years. His win follows the court ouster of Paetongtarn Shinawatra, marking another chapter of political instability. Analysts see Anutin’s consensus victory as a turning point, with early signs of increased business investment, regional cooperation, and ongoing constitutional debates in a country long shaped by the dramatic fortunes of its top families.
