Suspended Thai PM to attend defence ministry meeting


BANGKOK (Reuters): Suspended Thai prime minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha (pic) is to attend a defence ministry meeting on Thursday (Aug 25) as a longtime ally begins his first full day as acting premier and Thailand settled in for weeks of uncertainty while a court ponders Prayut's future.

Prayut, 68, retained his cabinet position as defence minister after the Constitutional Court on Wednesday suspended him from the top job pending a review of his constitutionally mandated term limit.
