Thai political deadlock drags on as prime minister vote delayed indefinitely

CNA

Thailand's political deadlock drags on -- the parliamentary vote to select a new premier has been delayed indefinitely, pending a court decision. The Constitutional Court will decide in mid-August whether a prime minister candidate can stand for a vote more than once. The election-winning Move Forward Party has been excluded from a new government coalition by the runner-up Pheu Thai. It has now been over 80 days since May's election was surprisingly won by Move Forward.
