Bangkok: Thailand is set to form a new government next week, marking an important step in the country’s political transition after recent elections.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the new administration is expected to take shape once the cabinet list is submitted for royal approval. This endorsement is a key constitutional step before the government can officially assume office.
Officials said the cabinet lineup could be finalised and sent for approval early in the week. Once endorsed, the new government is likely to present its policy statement to parliament in early April, allowing it to begin its work without delay.
The incoming administration will be led by Bhumjaithai Party, which secured strong support in the elections and formed a coalition with several other parties to gain a parliamentary majority.
The new government is expected to focus on easing the cost of living for ordinary people. Plans include expanding support programmes for households and exploring ways to manage rising fuel prices. Authorities are also considering measures such as tax adjustments to reduce the burden of energy costs.
Thailand is entering this new phase at a time of economic pressure, with many families facing high expenses and growing debt. The government is also expected to handle broader national issues, including economic recovery and political reforms.
With coalition partners in place and the transition process moving smoothly, the country is preparing for a relatively stable start to the new administration in the coming days.
