BANGKOK, Aug 18 The wealthy property mogul set to become Thailand's new prime minister said today he wanted to tackle poverty and inequality, as he fended off corruption.
Despite the PM vote setback, the success of the Move Forward Party during the election has created a new dynamic in Thai politics – one that is likely to persist.
The leader of Thailand s election-winning Move Forward Party met fresh obstacles in his prime ministerial bid on Wednesday, as a court suspended him as a lawmaker and rivals successfully scuttled his re-nomination in parliament.
