Thailand received its new Prime Minister on June 06, 2019, after the country\u2019s Military Government Chief Prayuth Chan-ocha was elected for the post.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Prayuth\u2019s emerged victorious because all of the 250 upper house members were hand-picked by the military.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
