Thai ruling party re-nominates Samak as PM
Thailand's ruling party endorsed ousted leader Samak Sundaravej to return as prime minister Thursday despite misgivings by some of its coalition partners, intensifying the country's political deadlock.
A two-hour meeting of Samak's People's Power Party ended with him being chosen as its prime ministerial candidate, said party spokesman Kuthep Saikrajang.
"A majority of the party members voted to reappoint (Samak) to be the prime minister as he is the leader of our party. So he is the best choice," Kuthep told reporters.
