The Democrat Party Friday submitted an impeachment motion against Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Deputy Prime Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi and Interior Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan.
The motion was sponsored by 146 Democrat MPs and was submitted to the Senate via Deputy Senate Speaker Surachai Liangboonchai.
The motion alleged that the three had abused their authority and failed to comply with the laws.
Chief coalition whip Jurin Laksanavisit led the Democrat MPs to submit the motion the Senate.
Jurin said the motion filing was the first step before the Democrats would file a censure motion against Yingluck and her ministers.
