All candidates have been vetted after a lengthy process, and the list of 35 ministers will be submitted as soon as this week, Paetongtarn told reporters on Monday.

The new coalition government led by Paetongtarn’s Pheu Thai Party is expected to officially take office by mid-September, acting prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai has said earlier.
Paetongtarn became prime minister on Aug. 16, after Pheu Thai’s Srettha Thavisin was disqualified for ethics violations by a court ruling after less than a year in power.
