The House of Representatives has been dissolved, paving the way for a general election, and the cabinet has been briefed by the Election Commission (EC) on its role as a caretaker administration.
A royal decree announcing the dissolution was published on Monday in the Royal Gazette. It was countersigned by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and was effective immediately. A date for the polls has yet to be set, but must be within 45-60 days.
