Thailand’s anti-government protesters, led by former Deputy Prime
Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, on May 9 besieged television stations and
police positions as they launched a “final battle” to topple the
caretaker government.
Around 4,500 demonstrators left their main encampment in a park in Bangkok’s commercial district after the protest leader called for the establishment of a parallel government.
Before leading a march to Government House, Suthep announced his ambition to regain sovereign power and set up a people’s government and legislative council.
The demonstration took place after caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, along with nine cabinet members, were removed by the Constitutional Court on abuse of power charges.
After the move, the current Puea Thai administration appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Trade Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan as the new premier.
