Thailand's Pheu Thau Party nominates Srettha for vote on prime minister

Thailand's Pheu Thai Party on Tuesday nominated Srettha Thavisin to become prime minister ahead of a vote scheduled by the bicameral parliament for later in the day.

Srettha, a real estate tycoon who was thrust into politics only a few months ago, needs the backing of at least 375 lawmakers, or half of the legislature.
