  • Thai property tycoon Srettha Thavisin has been elected as the new prime minister of Thailand following a decisive win in a parliamentary vote. 
  • The 60-year-old Thavisin’s victory in the parliamentary vote, with the support of two-thirds of the assembly, ends weeks of political uncertainty that followed an election held 100 days ago.
  • Srettha Thavisin’s election as prime minister ushers in a new era of coalition politics. 
  • He faces the challenging task of holding together a potentially fragile coalition government, which includes parties affiliated with the royalist military. 
  • The military, notorious for orchestrating coups in 2006 and 2014 that toppled Pheu Thai (a major Thai political party) governments, holds a significant stake in this coalition.
