• Thailand Renominates PM:
  Two days after being forced to resign [3] due to constitutional misdeeds, Thailand's prime minister has been renominated [4] by his party. The party claims there is nothing in the constitution to stop them from doing so, but the opposition and the thousands of protesters who called for the prime minister's resignation will likely disagree. After a two-hour meeting, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said, "I am accepting the nomination in order to protect democracy in the country."
