Thailand's ruling Pheu Thai party moves to dissolve parliament: Report


BANGKOK: Thailand's ruling Pheu Thai party moved on Tuesday (Sept 2) to dissolve parliament, which could trigger a general election, as the country's main opposition said it had not yet decided whether to back any of the two coalitions attempting to form the next government.

Local media outlet Matichon, citing Pheu Thai secretary-general Sorawong Thienthong (pic), said the process to dissolve parliament was underway, just days after a court dismissed Paetongtarn Shinawatradue to an ethics violation, plunging South-East Asia's second largest economy into turmoil.
