The Second Prayut cabinet, formally known as the 62nd Council of Ministers (คณะรัฐมนตรีไทย คณะที่ 62), was formed on 10 July 2019 after the March 2019 Thai general election.[1] The coalition is led by Palang Pracharath Party which nominated Prayut Chan-o-cha, who was then serving as Prime Minister of Thailand through the National Council for Peace and Order, as its candidate for prime minister.[2] Prayut was elected as prime minister on 5 June 2019[3] and received the appointment from the royal command on 9 June 2019.[4][5]

The cabinet was officially sworn into office by King Vajiralongkorn on 16 July 2019.[6]
