Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated the dissolution of parliament in December 2025, paving the way for early elections. The decision, pending royal approval, mandates elections within 45-60 days. A government spokesman cited a legislative impasse with the opposition People's Party as the primary reason for the dissolution. This political move occurs amidst ongoing border clashes with Cambodia, which have resulted in casualties and displacement. Despite the political uncertainty, Anutin assured that security operations along the border would continue uninterrupted. The Prime Minister's decision also comes as Thailand grapples with a sluggish economy, burdened by debt and trade pressures.
