Thai PM dissolves parliament to 'return power to people'
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has dissolved parliament to address political challenges and return power to the people. The decision follows clashes along the Thailand-Cambodia border and criticism over handling issues like flooding. An election will be held within 45 to 60 days, earlier than expected due to a looming vote of no confidence and pressure from the People's Party for reforms. Political instability and previous prime ministers' dismissals have added to Thailand's ongoing political turmoil.
