Thailand's Premier Faces Coalition Crisis Amid Political Turbulence
Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is at risk of losing her government's majority following demands from a key coalition partner for her resignation. Struggling with economic challenges and political discord, her tenure faces uncertainty amid pressures from within the alliance and looming protests.

Thailand's Prime Minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, faces a crisis as the United Thai Nation party threatens to leave the coalition unless she resigns. This development puts her government's majority at risk, just ten months into her tenure.
Amidst economic struggles, including steep U.S. tariffs, and a tense territorial dispute with Cambodia, Paetongtarn's leadership is under scrutiny. Recent leaks of a controversial phone call with Cambodia's ex-leader Hun Sen have intensified domestic criticisms, posing a threat to her political position.
Political activists plan major protests in Bangkok, demanding her resignation. Her options for maintaining power are narrowing, with discussions of a potential cabinet reshuffle or snap elections looming on the horizon.
