BANGKOK: Thailand's largest opposition party gave Anutin Charnvirakul (pic) its crucial backing on Wednesday (Sept 3) to serve as the nation's next prime minister, after the incumbent was ousted by court order last week.
The People's Party "agreed to support" the conservative tycoon, party head Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut told reporters, with their 143 lawmakers likely giving him majority support in parliament.
