|September 05, 2025
THAILAND was in political purgatory yesterday, as the opposition pressed its plans to vote in a new prime minister in defiance of a caretaker government scrambling to dissolve parliament.

A coalition of opposition MPs has backed conservative construction magnate Anutin Charnvirakul to take the top office, with a vote scheduled today at around 10am.
