Thailand received its new Prime Minister on June 06, 2019, after the country’s Military Government Chief Prayuth Chan-ocha was elected for the post.
He exceeded the 375-vote mark in two houses of the parliament to give him the much-needed victory over his sole contender, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.
Prayuth’s emerged victorious because all of the 250 upper house members were hand-picked by the military.
Moreover, a change in the seat distribution pattern made by the Election Commission after the March 2019 poll helped the newly-elected PM achieve his new position.
