Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra (pic) survived a no-confidence vote in parliament, defeating a challenge from opposition parties who accused her of being a puppet of her father, ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
After a two-day censure debate in which the opposition attacked 38-year-old Paetongtarn’s management of the country and her inexperience, MPs voted down the no-confidence motion by 319 votes to 162, with seven abstentions.
