Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Monday he had not ordered his military-dominated legislature to vote against ousted former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra when her impeachment hearing concludes this week.
Yingluck's supporters and former members of her cabinet say the National Legislative Assembly will vote against the former premier in a bid to try to end the political influence of her powerful family, including her brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Prayuth denied those allegations.
