Suriya Juangroongruangkit, Thailand’s deputy prime minister and transport minister, has been appointed caretaker prime minister following the suspension of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. At 70, Suriya is a seasoned figure in Thai politics, having held cabinet positions across multiple administrations since the 1990s. A senior member of the ruling Pheu Thai party, he now steps in to lead the country during a time of political uncertainty.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Suspended Over Ethics Complaint
Thailand’s Constitutional Court suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Tuesday as it reviews a petition filed by 36 senators. The complaint accuses the 38-year-old leader of dishonesty and violating ethical standards in connection to a leaked phone call with Cambodia’s former premier, Hun Sen. The court has yet to determine whether she will be officially removed from office, but the decision has already triggered a temporary power shift in the country’s leadership.
