Thaksin Shinawatra

Billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra kept his job as Thailand’s prime minister, but only by the skin of his teeth and as a result of a split court judgement last month. An immediate political and constitutional crisis was thereby avoided – but only at the risk of buffeting the country’s fragile political system and storing up trouble for later.

The fact that Thaksin is the first elected Thai political leader to enjoy an outright popular mandate added to a dramatic situation that kept the Thai press and public enthralled for months.
