10 Sept 15:57 Key points summarised by AI

Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, is set to become Thailand's next Prime Minister with support from the People's Party.
The People's Party will back Anutin as a minority prime minister but will remain in opposition, not joining the government.
Support is contingent on Anutin agreeing to dissolve the House of Representatives within four months for a general election and organizing a referendum for constitutional amendments.
Anutin's administration must not attempt to form a majority government, maintaining its minority status.
