Chuan Leekpai (Thai: ชวน หลีกภัย, RTGS: Chuan Likphai, pronounced[tɕʰūanlìːk.pʰāj]; Chinese: 呂基文; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lū Ki-bûn; born 28 July 1938) is a Thai politician who is the former President of the National Assembly of Thailand as well as the Speaker of the Thai House of Representatives from 2019 to 2023.[1] Previously he served as the Thai prime minister in 2 terms from 20 September 1992 to 19 May 1995 and again from 9 November 1997 to 9 February 2001.
As the leader of the Democrat Party, Chuan was elected in 1992 after the abortive coup by General Suchinda Kraprayoon, thus becoming Thailand's first prime minister to come to power without either aristocratic or military backing. His first administration consisted of a five party coalition of the Democrat, New Aspiration, Palang Dhamma, Social Action, and Social Unity Parties until he was defeated in the 1995 election, but assumed power in late-1997 following the fall of the Chavalit Yongchaiyudh administration, which was held responsible for the economic crisis that beset Thailand in 1997. Although criticised as a slow actor and allowing numerous corruption scandals, Chuan managed to meet factional demands and extend Thailand's social security system.[2]
