‘Ex-PM Thaksin to return to Thailand on Tuesday’

The Hindu  

Thailand's former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is set to return to the kingdom on Tuesday, the same day as a key parliamentary vote could end a political deadlock, his daughter said. Mr. Thaksin has long said he wanted to return home but faces multiple criminal charges that he says are politically motivated. "On Tuesday, August 22, 9 am I will pick up my father Thaksin at Don Muang Airport," his daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who is one of the Pheu Thai Party's candidates for prime minister, said on Instagram. His return will coincide with an afternoon vote on whether to approve Srettha Thavisin — from the Mr. Thaksin-linked Pheu Thai Party — as prime minister and end months of political uncertainty since a May general election.
