Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved parliament and called for fresh elections as more than 200,000 protesters converged on Government House in Bangkok to push for her ouster.
“The government doesn’t want the country and the Thai people to suffer more losses,” Yingluck said today in a speech broadcast on state television. “Returning power to voters is in line with the parliamentary democracy. We want all of you to see the importance of the election.”
