# House elects Anutin Charnvirakul prime minister with 311 votes after Paetongtarn’s removal

Date: 2025

## The fact

On 5 September 2025 Thailand’s House of Representatives elected [Anutin Charnvirakul](/people/anutin-charnvirakul) prime minister with 311 votes after the Constitutional Court removed Paetongtarn Shinawatra over a leaked call with [Hun Sen](/people/hun-sen). The People’s Party backed him on condition of a constitution rewrite and an early election, then stayed in opposition. King Vajiralongkorn endorsed him on 7 September. The 7 September endorsement is neighbouring next-day palace procedure. Hun Sen’s call is neighbouring on the live Hun Sen page, not this Contribution as a twin.

## Context

Paetongtarn is unresolved. Hun Sen is live. Cannabis 2022 is neighbouring health-minister weather. Border clashes are neighbouring Paetongtarn-era weather.

Court removal; 5 September House vote; 7 September royal endorsement. Store the House vote as the instrument. Keep House elects Anutin Charnvirakul prime minister with 311 votes after Paetongtarn’s removal on 2025-09-05 separate from neighbouring 5 September 2025 House vote, 7 September royal endorsement, December 2025 dissolution, and 19 March 2026 re-election.

Thailand’s prime minister is elected by the House and takes office on royal endorsement. He can dissolve the House and contest a snap. He does not write a Constitutional Court ethics judgment against Paetongtarn, Hun Sen’s leaked-call transcript, or a unique Cambodia-border casualty integer. Cannabis decriminalisation in 2022 was a health-minister neighbourhood, not this premiership Contribution.

## Evidence and sources

House of Representatives of Thailand carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is Bhumjaithai PM and transfer: a completed House-and-palace premiership after a court removal, not a civic opening of the constitution.

## What is established and what is not

Established: A 5 September 2025 House election as prime minister with 311 votes, independently recorded; royal endorsement 7 September.

Not established: That he wrote Paetongtarn’s ethics judgment, or a unique border-casualty integer as Contribution.size.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The King endorsed him. The People’s Party supplied votes with conditions. Paetongtarn had already been removed.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies House elects Anutin Charnvirakul prime minister with 311 votes after Paetongtarn’s removal, not a later speech about House elects Anutin Charnvirakul prime minister with 311 votes after Paetongtarn’s removal.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. House elects Anutin Charnvirakul prime minister with 311 votes after Paetongtarn’s removal on 2025-09-05 is not a licence to treat every later House of Representatives of Thailand communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average House elects Anutin Charnvirakul prime minister with 311 votes after Paetongtarn’s removal into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The House elected him. The King endorsed him. The People’s Party supplied votes with conditions. Paetongtarn had already been removed. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
