03:22 Min

Thailand’s top court has accepted a challenge to last month’s general election over concerns of ballot defects that may have compromised voter privacy. It has yet to set a date for its verdict, but the petition on the legality of the ballot risks annulling the election. The latest development comes as the new parliament is set to vote on a prime minister on Thursday (19 March). February's vote gave Anutin Charnvirakul's Bhumjaithai Party a decisive win. Saksith Saiyasombut looks at the state of play of Thailand’s next legislature.
