Mr Abhisit, who is known as "Mark Vejj" to his British friends, was a contemporary of London mayor Boris Johnson at school and university and a year above Tory leader David Cameron. He is Thailand's fourth prime minister this year.

There have been two weeks of furious negotiation for the votes of MPs. There are widespread allegations that the army was responsible for organising or coercing Mr Abhisit's supporters.

Niall's thoughts:

Boris Johnson's old classmate has become PM of Thailand. Naturally his appointment led to protest on the streets from the increasingly divided state with the rural poor opposing the middle class elite. The question now is can the new government deliver peace?
