Bangkok: Thailand's ruling alliance remains together and the Pheu Thai party is confident it will form a government and remain at the core of the coalition, the country's acting premier said on Friday, following a court's dismissal of the prime minister.
Appearing at a press conference alongside many of the major coalition partners, acting premier Phumtham Wechayachai, a Pheu Thai party member, said a prime ministerial candidate would be nominated as soon as possible.
He did not name a candidate but a party official earlier said Pheu Thai would nominate 77-year-old Chaikasem Nitisiri, a former attorney general.
