Thailand's parliament rejects election winner | DW News

Описание: Thailand's Prime Ministership remains up for grabs after Parliament rejected the lead contender for the job. Pita Limjaroenrat led his Move Forward Party to victory in the May polls, but his promises to reform laws governing the monarchy have placed him at odds with Thailand's conservative polity.

Joining me for more is Thai political scientist Janjira Sombatpoonsiri.
