Anutin concedes House dissolution decree drafted, waits to set date
The Nation Thailand3 days
Dissolving Parliament now makes perfect sense when the prime minister has already prepared the necessary decree and simply needs to choose optimal timing. Bhumjaithai's regular Tuesday meetings to prepare election candidates demonstrate responsible party planning, not distraction from governance. Critics complaining about election preparations are just bitter former officials who lost their government posts and can't accept political reality.
Rushing Parliament dissolution ahead of the promised timeline exposes the fragility of a minority government clinging to power through precarious coalition deals. This accelerated push toward elections risks deepening Thailand's political volatility during serious economic challenges including high household debt and sluggish tourism recovery. The gamble could easily backfire and unravel the fragile consensus that barely kept this administration afloat.
