SaralnamaThailand's parliament will vote for a new prime minister on at 10 am. This comes after the royal office rejected the ruling Pheu Thai Party's request to dissolve parliament. Pheu Thai has nominated former Attorney General Chaikasem Nitisiri, 77, for the role. The opposition coalition supports Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul. The vote follows last week's removal of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra by the Constitutional Court. Pheu Thai says it will call for new elections if Chaikasem wins. The political situation remains uncertain as Thailand faces a power vacuum. (Updated 4 Sep 2025, 18:14 IST; source: link)
