BANGKOK: Thanaporn Promyamyai Thai lawmakers on Friday elected the 37-year-old daughter of billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra as prime minister , elevating a third member of the influential but divisive clan to the nation's top job.
Srettha's ouster on Wednesday was the latest round in a long-running battle between the military, pro-royalist establishment and populist parties linked to Paetongtarn's father, a telecoms tycoon and one-time Manchester City owner. Paetongtarn helped run the hotel arm of the family's business empire before entering politics in late 2022, and she was a near-constant presence on the campaign trail during last year's general election.
Srettha was ousted over his appointment of Pichit Chuenban, a former lawyer associated with Thaksin's family who had a criminal conviction.
