The country’s embattled Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra will not resign or dissolve parliament, a senior official from the ruling Pheu Thai party said, risking a prolonged political crisis in South-East Asia’s second largest economy.
Sorawong Thienthong, who also serves as Thailand’s tourism minister, on Saturday said in a Facebook post that the prime minister would not quit, despite growing calls for her resignation after her apparent mishandling of a border dispute with neighbouring Cambodia.
