Thailand's Parliament to Vote on New Prime Minister on March 19

Thailand's parliament is scheduled to vote on a new prime minister on March 19, following the February 8 general election. Caretaker Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, whose Bhumjaithai Party won a clear victory, is seeking to be re-elected. The election result faces scrutiny due to complaints about barcodes on ballots potentially compromising voter secrecy, with the Constitutional Court reviewing the issue. The Election Commission maintains the barcodes are for security and do not reveal voter choices.
