After being forced out of office by a court decision, former Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin was replaced by Paetongtarn Shinawatra. She is a member of the Pheu Thai Party, the largest force in the ruling camp and an incarnation of the party founded by her father, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The coalition, which includes pro-military parties, remained intact after the leadership change.
