Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Monday brushed aside speculation about an early House dissolution, saying the government still has enough support from coalition MPs to survive a no-confidence motion.
He was responding to comments by some opposition figures that said Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha may decide to dissolve the House rather than face a no-confidence debate which the opposition wants to hold in May when parliament reconvenes.
"The authority to dissolve the House rests with the PM. It is up to him to make a decision. It doesn't matter what other people think," he said.
