BANGKOK, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) — Thai caretaker Prime Minister Phumtham Vechayachai announced on Wednesday that his caretaker government has decided to dissolve the lower house of parliament, potentially triggering an early general election.
Speaking to reporters at the government building, he confirmed that the request to dissolve the House of Representatives was submitted to King Maha Vajiralongkorn on Tuesday and is now awaiting approval.
Given the existing problems, P. Vechayachai noted that restoring political stability is important to prevent further economic decline, stressing that after consultation with the legal team, it would be appropriate to return decision-making powers to voters.
“As acting prime minister, I have carefully considered all these views and decided to report the situation to the king for consideration in accordance with the democratic process provided for in the Constitution,” P. Vechayachai said.
The move to dissolve parliament came after the ruling Phua Thai Party lost its majority in the lower house and faced difficulties in forming a new government following a constitutional court ruling last week that removed Phetongthan Shinawatra as prime minister over ethics violations.
The main opposition People's Party on Wednesday decided to back Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul as the next prime minister in a vote in parliament.–0–
