A court’s suspension of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has raised questions about whether her family’s political comeback will end with another downfall.

Thousands of protesters have gathered in Thailand’s capital demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has apologized for the political turbulence set off by a leaked recording of her negotiating with Cambodia’s former leader in the two nations' latest border dispute.

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of the divisive former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, became Thailand’s prime minister after receiving a royal letter of endorsement Sunday, two days after she was chosen by Parliament following a court order that removed her predecessor.

The election of Paetongtarn Shinawatra as Thailand’s prime minister represents a remarkable comeback for the political dynasty founded by her billionaire father, Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by a military coup in 2006.

Thailand’s Parliament has elected Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of the divisive former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, as the country’s new prime minister.

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, will be nominated as the country’s new prime minister in a parliamentary vote, her party and its coalition partners said Thursday.

Thailand's former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, a billionaire populist who was ousted by a 2006 military coup, plans to return home next month from years of self-imposed exile, as Thailand grapples with the unexpectedly difficult task of naming a new prime minister.

The head of the progressive Thai political party that outpaced its rivals to a surprise first-place finish in May’s general election has failed in his initial bid to have Parliament name him the country’s new prime minister.

Thailand’s new Parliament has convened nearly two months after a progressive opposition party won a stunning election victory, but there is still no clear sign that its leader will be able to become prime minister and end nine years of military-dominated rule.

Opinion polls show Paetongtarn Shinawatra to be the heavy favorite to take the prime minister's post after Thailand's May 14 general election.

Thailand’s main opposition party has paraded its slate of parliamentary candidates and outlined its policy pledges in a well-choreographed show of confidence ahead of the general election.

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has ruled that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha can remain in his job and did not violate a constitutional provision limiting him to eight years in office.

Afghanistan’s president, driven out by the Taliban, is the latest leader on the run to turn up in the United Arab Emirates.

(AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe, file)BANGKOK – Three Cabinet ministers in Thailand were forced to leave their posts Wednesday after a court found them guilty of sedition for taking part in sometimes-violent protests in 2013-2014 against the government then in power. The verdicts can be appealed to a higher court but under the law the Cabinet ministers must relinquish their jobs immediately. Instability caused by the street protests led to the Thai army staging a coup in 2014 and keeping power until 2019. AdSuthep and the Cabinet ministers each received prison sentences ranging from five to about seven years.
