Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam downplayed speculation on Thursday that suspended Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha may dissolve parliament after the Apec summit in November.
To be in a position to do that, of course, Gen Prayut must first survive a Constitutional Court ruling later this month on when his eight-year tenure ends.
Speculation as to his future intentions arose after the Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday announced a timeline for the general election, with some observers seeing it as a possible sign that the House could be dissolved.
