Thailand's acting prime minister lifted the state of emergency in Bangkok yesterday as the ruling party met to choose a new candidate for premier.Somchai Wongsawat said tensions had eased in Bangkok since the emergency was imposed two weeks ago after pro- and anti-government protesters clashed in violence that left one person dead and dozens injured."We have analysed that the situation is less serious and if we still maintain the state of emergency, it might damage the country," acting premier Somchai said.Thousands of protesters have besieged the grounds of Government House in the capital since last month to try to force the resignation of then prime minister Samak Sundaravej and his cabinet.
