00:00Thailand is heading toward an early election after a dramatic political shake-up that unfolded this

00:20week. Prime Minister Anitin Charnverical has moved to dissolve parliament, a decision he says is

00:27about returning power to the people. The announcement came after days of rising political tension and at

00:34the same time a dangerous escalation of border fighting with Cambodia. Here's what you need to

00:40know. On Thursday, Anitin submitted a formal request to dissolve parliament. By Friday,

00:47Thailand's King Mahavajir Longkorn had endorsed the decree, officially clearing the way for elections

00:54that must be held within 45 to 60 days. This is happening because Thailand's legislature has hit

01:02a total deadlock. Government spokesmen Siripong Ankasakoukyat says a dispute with the Opposition

01:09People's Party, the largest bloc in parliament, made it impossible to move forward with any agenda.

01:16He put it bluntly, we can't go forward in parliament.

01:19But this political paralysis isn't happening in isolation. Thailand is also dealing with its

01:26fourth consecutive day of armed clashes with Cambodia along their shared border. Artillery

01:33exchanges, airstrikes and more than a dozen flashpoints have erupted. The toll so far, at least 20 people

01:41killed in both countries and nearly 100 wounded, as tens of thousands flee to temporary shelters.

01:49Prime Minister Anitin insists the political turmoil will not disrupt national security operations.

01:55He says troop deployments and military coordination along the border will continue uninterrupted.

02:02He repeated his message again on social media. I am returning power to the people.

02:07But beyond the border and political crisis lies another pressure point, Thailand's struggling economy.

02:16High household debt, weak consumer spending and added pressure from recent United States tariffs

02:22have kept Southeast Asia's second largest economy under strain. Political uncertainty has only made things worse.

02:29Anitin, Thailand's third prime minister since 2023, had originally planned to dissolve parliament at the

02:37end of January with elections in March or early April. But tensions inside the governing coalition

02:44accelerated everything. His rise to power came after his Boom Jai Thai Party pulled out of the previous

02:51coalition and struck a deal with the People's Party. A deal that included major concessions, including a

02:57referendum on constitutional reform. But that agreement soon fell apart. The People's Party says Boom Jai Thai

03:05failed to honor its commitments. Party leader Nathapong Rink Panyawut says they had been trying to push

03:12forward constitutional amendments. And when their demands weren't met, they threatened a no-confidence

03:18motion. That ultimatum ultimately forced today's dissolution.

03:23So what happens now? Thailand is heading towards snap elections in a moment of political instability,

03:31border conflict and economic pressure, with the government insisting the country's security remains

03:37fully under control. The next 45 to 60 days will determine whether returning power to the people

03:44brings Thailand renewed stability or plunges it into a deeper political battle.
