Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra faces a no-confidence motion in parliament starting on Monday, with the opposition set to grill her over an underperforming economy and her powerful father's perceived influence over her administration.


The article from Reuters discusses how Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is facing a no-confidence motion in parliament, with opposition parties targeting the influence of his predecessor and current advisor, Thaksin Shinawatra. The opposition, led by the Move Forward Party, has accused Srettha of allowing Thaksin, who returned from exile and was recently released on parole, to wield significant power behind the scenes. This motion comes amidst political tensions, with critics arguing that Thaksin's influence undermines the government's legitimacy. The debate is set to occur in the Thai parliament, where Srettha's coalition government holds a majority, making the passage of the censure motion unlikely. However, the event highlights ongoing political dynamics and the enduring influence of Thaksin in Thai politics.
