Former Property Tycoon Srettha Thavisin is set to become Thailand’s next Prime Minister, potentially ending the country’s months-long political standoff. A vote on Tuesday will determine if Srettha, backed by a coalition of populist and conservative parties, will assume the role of Prime Minister. However, the final decision lies with the military-appointed Senate, who will vote alongside elected lawmakers. Srettha’s candidacy comes after an earlier attempt by Pita Limjaroenrat of the Move Forward Party was blocked by senators. If successful, Srettha will face significant challenges including a polarized society, a fragile economy, and high household debt. Srettha is a candidate for the coalition led by the party associated with ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra. He has a long career in real estate and previously served as the president and CEO of a prominent luxury property developer in Bangkok. Srettha has also advocated for LGBTQ rights and environmental sustainability.
