Eric Loh

Mathematically the pro democracy coalition still maintain the majority and will form the government when the EC declared the endorsement for 321 MPs next week. The 71 new MPs under investigation will not effect this outcome. There are more junta and ally parties under investigation than the pro democracy coalition. So far, the junta party leaders for PPRP and UTN have not indicate any plans to form the government. May also indicate that Prawit and Prayut respectively are not attempting to stay in politics. Without these 2 incumbents, BJT and DTP are powerless to mount and challenge for the goverment. It is now down to whether Pita can lead the next government or would it be Sreetha who may have less legal hoops to clear and perhaps more acceptable to the senators. Even if Pita is unlikely take the top job position, he can still serve as a senior cabinet minister.
