Pheu Thai Party

Thailand's Constitutional Court rejects a petition seeking to stop Thaksin Shinawatra from interfering in the running the Pheu Thai party.

The 11-party alliance holds 314 house seats and should have no difficulty electing a PM on Friday, providing it remains intact.

Thailand's Constitutional Court on Wednesday accepted a case seeking the dissolution of the opposition Move Forward Party.

The corrections department has come under criticism amid widespread scepticism about the extent of Thaksin Shinawatra's health problems.

Thailand's cannabis industry projected to be worth up to $1.2 bln over the next few years with thousands of businesses in tourist hot spots.

Drafting (a pardon request) takes time and it is up to him to choose the time and process, Paetongtarn Shinawatra said.

Existing divisions will be difficult to overcome, said. the newly minted Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin

His Majesty has given royal assent for the 30th prime minister of Thailand, a spokesperson said.

About 64% of 1,310 respondents disagreed or totally disagreed with the idea of the Pheu Thai party forming a "special government".

The court must decide whether there is merit in Move Forward's challenge to a decision that prevented Pita Limjaroenrat's PM bid.

Pheu Thai party said it had the support of six more parties in its attempt to form a government, still short of the required backing.

Move Forward won big support from youth voters and the capital Bangkok, campaigning overwhelmingly on social media.

The liberal Move Forward party and the populist Pheu Thai Party were far out in front with 99% of votes counted, but it was far from certain either will form the next government.

Thai authorities ramped up security in the capital ahead of protests calling on the prime minister to resign.
