BANGKOK – The Bhumjaithai Party held the royal command ceremony in which Anutin Charnvirakul, party leader and MP on the party-list system, was formally appointed as the 32nd prime minister of Thailand at 11.30am on Sunday (September 7).
Arphat Sukanan, secretary-general of the House of Representatives, brought the royal command appointing the prime minister to the Bhumjaithai Party headquarters on Phaholyothin Road.
He then read out the royal command, in which His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua (King Rama X) formally appointed Anutin Charnvirakul as prime minister of Thailand.
During the ceremony, Anutin delivered words of gratitude before a portrait of His Majesty King Rama X, expressing profound appreciation for the royal benevolence. “It is an immeasurable honour and blessing for me and my family to receive the royal command appointing me prime minister. This royal grace shall be remembered and cherished above all else by myself and my family forever,” he said.
Anutin also pledged his loyalty and commitment: “I solemnly swear to carry out my duties with integrity, honesty, and morality, to be worthy of His Majesty’s trust, for the well-being of the Thai people and the enduring prosperity of the nation, in line with the royal aspirations and the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand.”
The ceremony was attended by members of the Charnvirakul family, including his father Chavarat Charnvirakul, his mother Tasanee Charnvirakul, his son Seranee Charnvirakul, and Anutin’ spouse Thananont Niramith.
Also present were senior Bhumjaithai Party members, MPs, and political allies from coalition parties such as Klatham, Palang Pracharath, and the “Group of 16” led by Suchart Chomklin, as well as Pheu Thai MPs led by Sakda Wichiansilp and Nipon Bunyamanee.
Following the formal proceedings, Anutin knelt before his parents to pay his respects, before embracing and kissing his son on the cheek. He then greeted coalition leaders, party executives, and MPs, before posing for group photographs with his family and government partners.
