She won by nearly two-thirds in a house vote on Friday to become second woman premier after her aunt
BANGKOK – Paetongtarn Shinawatra was endorsed as prime minister by Thailand 's king on Sunday, two days after parliament elected her, paving the way for her to form a cabinet in the coming weeks.
The approval by King Maha Vajiralongkorn, a formality, was read out by House of Representatives Secretary Apat Sukhanand at a ceremony in Bangkok on Sunday. Paetongtarn, who has not served in government previously, faces challenges on multiple fronts, with the economy floundering and the popularity of her Pheu Thai party dwindling, having yet to deliver on its flagship digital wallet cash handout programme worth 500 billion baht .
She said the government will not abandon its flagship digital wallet policy but will seek to "study and listen to additional options" to make sure the scheme is fiscally responsible.The prime minister said she has no plans to appoint her father Thaksin to any government position but will seek his advice.
