BANGKOK, March 28 (Reuters) – Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Saturday that he expected the country to have a new government next week, with a list of new cabinet members to be submitted for royal endorsement on Monday.
The new government will move quickly to deliver a policy statement to parliament so it can begin its work, Anutin told a press conference.
The policy statement is expected to take place around April 7-9, and will be mostly based on the election promises of Anutin’s Bhumjaithai Party, including the next phase of a consumer subsidy scheme, deputy party leader Siripong Angkasakulkiat told Reuters.
