Thailand is at risk of another bout of instability, a key opposition politician said as the nation’s courts prepare to rule whether to dissolve his party and if the prime minister should be removed.

Pita Limjaroenrat, who led the reformist Move Forward Party to an electoral victory last year but was thwarted from forming government, said in an interview that the two court cases may bring about “quite a political inferno here in Thailand.”
