Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai party, has been elected Thailand's new prime minister. He secured 311 votes, defeating Chaikasem Nitisiri of the Pheu Thai party. Anutin's victory follows the dismissal of Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who was removed from office due to an ethics scandal. His win is a setback for the Shinawatra family, a dominant force in Thai politics for two decades. Anutin promised a general election within four months. Thaksin Shinawatra, the family patriarch, left for Dubai before the vote.
