On the 23rd, Seta Thaksin, who was elected as Prime Minister of Thailand through a joint meeting of the upper and lower houses of the Thai parliament, received a decree from King Maha Wajilalongkorn of Thailand and was officially appointed as the 30th Prime Minister of Thailand. Saita was born in February 1962 and studied abroad in his early years. After returning to China, he became a successful real estate developer in Thailand. He announced his joining of the Thai Party at the end of 2022 and became one of the candidates for Prime Minister of the Thai Party in 2023, making him a dark horse in Thai politics. Saita once said that the COVID-19 epidemic was the fundamental reason for him to become a politician. He had witnessed many long-standing problems breaking out during the epidemic, and he hoped to take action to change the current situation of social inequality. On August 22nd, in a joint meeting of the upper and lower houses of parliament, Seta, as the only nominated candidate for prime minister, received 482 votes in support of the 728 members who participated in the vote and was elected as the new prime minister of Thailand. Saita's election has ended Thailand's political stalemate since the May House of Commons elections, and various sectors in Thailand generally expect him to leverage his experience in the business community to promote national development. According to data from the Bank of Thailand, Thailand's business confidence index fell to 49.3 in July this year, setting a recent low. After being officially appointed on the 23rd, Seta stated that Thailand is at an important turning point and many of the problems and crises it faces urgently need to be resolved. The new government will listen to the voices of the people, committed to reuniting Thai society and promoting further development and progress of the country. (New News Agency)
