In a significant political move, Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been nominated as Thailand's next prime minister. The nomination was made by Sorawong Thienthong, the secretary-general of the Pheu Thai party, during a parliamentary vote on Friday.

This development comes shortly after the removal of former prime minister Srettha Thavisin, who was ousted from office by a Constitutional Court order. The court decision has set the stage for a new leadership in Thailand.

As the country awaits the outcome of the parliamentary vote, many are looking at Shinawatra for a fresh trajectory in the nation's political landscape.
