Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has faced weeks of mass street demonstrations seeking to force her elected government from office and install an appointed ‘people’s council’ in its place.
The protesters aim to rein in the political dominance of Yingluck’s billionaire brother, fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, whom they accuse of controlling the government from self-exile.
Yingluck hosted talks on Wednesday to discuss a proposal by the country’s election commission to postpone the polls, but the opposition as well as the kingdom’s election commissioners – who are in theory independent – refused to attend, reports The Straits Times.
