Pheu Thai Seeks Delay in Court Ruling on Suspended PM

Pheu Thai Seeks Delay in Court Ruling on Suspended Prime Minister

Pheu Thai is requesting the Constitutional Court postpone its decision on whether to remove suspended PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra, citing urgent national crises—border tensions, tariff issues, drug problems—as reasons why Thailand needs a fully empowered leader rather than an acting one. They propose a six-month delay. If the ruling eventually removes her, the party will back Chaikasem Nitisiri for PM, with dissolution of parliament as a last resort.
