Pan of crowd at Government House STORYLINE Lawmakers elected a brother-in-law of deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra as the new leader of Thailand on Wednesday, a development likely to intensify country's heated political crisis. The lower house of Parliament voted 298-163 in favour of Somchai Wongsawat, 61, whose controversial candidacy had initially divided the ruling party and drew fierce opposition from anti-government protesters currently occupying the prime minister's compound. Five lawmakers abstained from the vote. "I want to thank the speaker of the house and all the members of the parliament who voted for me. Thank you for giving me your confidence to be the next prime minister. I will do my very best," Somchai said, standing at his seat in parliament after the speaker of the house read out the final vote tally. He then walked over to opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and shook his hand. Speaking before the vote, Abhisit said that if Somchai was elected by parliament, "the important thing is for him to show exactly changes would be implement so that we can lead the country out of the crisis." The ruling People's Power Party and its governing coalition hold 306 of the lower house's 480 seats. The arrival of a new prime minister marked a small step forward in Thailand's tumultuous political crisis but not one likely to defuse it. More than 2,200 police and soldiers were deployed in the Parliament area, police said. Thaksin's political legacy is a prime target of anti-government protesters.
