Dual role for Paetongtarn after Cabinet reshuffle
The Phuket News
|July 04, 2025
Paetongtarn Shinawatra was appointed to take on the dual role of prime minister and culture minister after the new Cabinet lineup was announced in the Royal Gazette on Tuesday (July 1).
The new lineup was royally endorsed by His Majesty the King on Monday before being published the following day, with an oath-taking ceremony scheduled to take place yesterday (July 3).
Political watchers see Ms Paetongtarn's move as a bid to stay in the Cabinet in the event she was temporarily relieved from duty as prime minister by the Constitutional Court's decision which, at time of press, was due later Tuesday.
The court was set to decide whether to accept a petition initiated by 36 senators accusing her of serious ethical violations shown in a leaked audio of a phone conversation with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen last month.
