68-year-old former army chief stays in power in Thailand ahead of election in 11 months
Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha and 10 cabinet ministers survived no-confidence votes in parliament on Saturday, with the government emerging on top in Prayuth’s last major test ahead of a general election due within 11 months.
“Now that the censure debate is completed we urged the opposition to work with us for the people and the country.” It was the fourth time Prayuth’s performance had been put to a vote since he was chosen by the house to remain prime minister in 2019, following an election the opposition said was held under rules designed to keep him in power. Prayuth has rejected that assertion.
