PM to address nation on radio this morning Twin blows leave premier with few options
Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej is expected to address the public on national radio this morning, with high prospects that he will step down.
A well-informed source said Samak's exit could take place in one of three scenarios, all of which are in accordance with the current constitutional framework:
He could dissolve Parliament.
He could resign to pave the way for a new coalition government.
His resignation could result in the formation of a national unity government.
In the third scenario, Parliament would need to support an amendment of Article 171 of the Constitution, under which the prime minister must be a member of Parliament, the source added.
