Unable to nominate a new prime minister, Thailand plunges into a political deadlock
Only 13 of the 250 members of the upper house voted in last week’s vote to appoint Piet Limjarenrath as prime minister. This left him 51 votes short.
Ruling officials see his party’s promise to relax the kingdom’s strict defamation laws, which carry offenders jail terms of up to 15 years, as a red line.
The party also wants to decentralize power and bring about changes in the military and the economy.
