BANGKOK, March 20 (Xinhua) -- Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn has endorsed Anutin Charnvirakul as the country's prime minister, Secretary-General of the House of Representatives Sirote Paetphan announced on Friday.
In a ceremony held at the Bhumjaithai Party headquarters, Sirote read out the royal command appointing Anutin to a second term in office, as he received majority support in a vote cast by the House of Representatives on Thursday.
The royal endorsement paves the way for cabinet formation and policy address to the parliament, a formality required for the new government to officially assume office. ■
