Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva survived the no-confidence vote in lower House Wednesday morning as 246 MPs voted for him to continue serve as premier and 186 voted against it. The vote came after a two-day censure debate among the MPs, which focused on the tough measures taken by the government against the red-shirts protest, which was called off by their leaders on May 19 after 88 died and nearly 2,000 injured during clashes between the protesters and security forces. The five other cabinet members -- Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban, Interior Minister Chavarat Charnvirakul, Transport Minister Sophon Zarum, Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij and Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya -- also survived the vote.
