No dissolution and no re-shuffle insists government

A deputy government spokeswoman has denied speculation about a cabinet reshuffle or House dissolution after the Constitutional Court suspended Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha as prime minister pending its ruling on his tenure in office.

Deputy government spokeswoman Tipanan Sirichana made the remarks on Saturday during a radio show in which she insisted that Gen Prayut remains prime minister and the suspension is only valid until the court delivers a ruling on the matter.

Asked if Gen Prawit has the authority to dissolve the House of Representatives or reshuffle the cabinet, Ms Tipanan said such authority lies solely with the prime minister.
