Thailand

Thailand’s Parliament has been dissolved, opening the door for new elections. The current prime minister, who led a military coup in 2014, has faded in popularity with voters.

Thailand’s opposition parties have secured a victory in the general election, according to preliminary results. Analysts say it shows the country is ready to move on from military-backed leaders.

Opposition parties have scored a massive victory in the recent election in Thailand, but even that may not be enough for a new government.
