A cabinet meeting is expected to be convened immediately after the ceremony. The administration is backed by a coalition of 16 parties holding a combined 292 seats in parliament, although only two parties, Bhumjaithai and Pheu Thai, hold cabinet positions. Bhumjaithai has 31 cabinet seats and Pheu Thai has nine. Thirteen ministers retain their previous posts, while 14 newcomers have joined the cabinet.
