Thai king approves PM Anutin’s cabinet line-up, Royal Gazette shows

In a significant political development, Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn has officially endorsed Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s new cabinet, as announced in the Royal Gazette on September 19, 2025. This royal endorsement marks a crucial step in the formalization of the new government, allowing the cabinet to proceed with the ceremonial oath-taking before the king. Following this, the ministers will present their policy statement to parliament, the final procedural requirement before they can fully assume their roles. Prime Minister Anutin, leader of the Bhumjaithai party, was seen in high spirits during a press conference at the party headquarters in Bangkok, shortly after the royal endorsement ceremony. This development underscores the stability and continuity of Thailand’s political framework, as the nation transitions into a new phase of governance under Anutin’s leadership.
