Thailand's Pheu Thai party, a populist political group, received backing from its major coalition partners to nominate a new prime minister following the removal of former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin due to an ethical violation. The Constitutional Court found Srettha guilty of an ethical breach related to the appointment of a Cabinet member with a criminal record.
The party executives are set to meet to decide on their prime ministerial nomination, with a vote scheduled for Friday. Pheu Thai's ruling coalition partners, including the Bhumjaithai party and pro-military parties, have endorsed the party's candidate.
