#early-elections

I am returning power to the people, Anutin said on social media late on Thursday. He is Thailand's third prime minister since August 2023, and political instability is taking a toll on south-east Asia's second-largest economy, which is grappling with US tariffs, high household debt and weak consumption. In September, Anutin said he planned to dissolve parliament by the end of January, with a general election to be held in March or early April, but this move would accelerate that timeline.

Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti failed to secure enough support in Kosovo's parliament to form a new government, plunging the country further into political chaos and bringing it closer to its second elections this year. Only 56 parliamentary deputies voted in favor of Kurti's proposed administration on October 26, five short of the number needed for approval. Fifty-two voted against the government and four abstained.
