Summary: Thailand’s acting prime minister has dissolved Parliament after the opposition People’s Party backed Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul for prime minister. This move, which could end the political deadlock, comes after Pheu Thai’s former prime minister was dismissed for an ethics violation. The People’s Party’s support for Anutin, a conservative tycoon, could be pivotal as it controls nearly a third of Lower House seats.
