-- Former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra ’s daughter is set to become the Southeast Asian nation’s next prime minister , signaling policy continuity after another party member was ousted from the top job on Wednesday. Paetongtarn Shinawatra , 37, will contest a parliamentary vote on Friday as the nominee of a multi-party group led by Pheu Thai Party .
The elevation of Paetongtarn to the top job came after Srettha’s 11-month-old tenure saw his party’s popularity sliding while that of the now-disbanded Move Forward — the principal opponent of the pro-royalist establishment — steadily rising. The Shinawatra scion, in the company of her still popular father, is expected to counter the rise of the opposition People’s Party that’s seeking to reform lese majeste — a law that protects King Maha Vajiralongkorn and other top royals from criticism.
Other challenges awaiting the alumnus of the University of Surrey include finding ways to lift average annual economic growth of below 2% over the past decade, attract foreign investment into high-tech industries and stem the exodus of foreign funds from the nation’s stocks. She is also chief executive officer of the hotel business of Rende Development Co., which cites the luxurious Rosewood Hotel in Bangkok as a major project.
