Thai Opposition Delays No-Confidence Vote Against Suspended PM
Thailand's opposition is pausing plans to vote against the suspended Prime Minister, Paetongtarn.
They're waiting for the court to decide on her case, caused by a leaked phone call.
They're also working together to make sure the country doesn't get stuck in a political mess, even if Paetongtarn is permanently removed.
To help, there's been a cabinet change, with new people taking on roles, and someone else has been chosen to lead the government temporarily.
Opposition parties in Thailand will postpone a no-confidence vote against the suspended Prime Minister.
The decision is pending the Constitutional Court's ruling on Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
The opposition parties, including Bhumjaithai Party, are coordinating to prevent political deadlock.
A cabinet reshuffle occurred, with 14 new ministers sworn in, including the suspended Paetongtarn.
Phumtham Wechayachai will become the new caretaker leader.
