He will run and his party likely to be intact for the election. The charge will have to go to the AG for prosecution. If the AG goes ahead with prosecution, it will be series of courts and appeal before reaching the Supreme Court. That may be years away. Thanathorn may perhaps thank the brain dead junta for giving him more publicity and sympathy votes. Hopefully the anti junta parties win big and form the government and repeal that additional amendment by the NCPO to the Computer Crime Act and his case will run into a dead end. As for Thai Raksa case, I doubt the Constitutional Court will have the fortitude to dissolve the party after the princess make that statement of her own free will to be part of the election. Let's see and hope the election will deal the junta parties a big kick to their rears and the pro-democracy parties stick to their promises to lay pain to the military and the generals.

Will be hard for those imbeciles to manufacture reasons for a coup. The reds and yellows are done and have wised up taking to the streets.

Oh you mean those who have deliberately slept through the reasons for the last coup... criminal dereliction of duty comes to mind.
Criminal dereliction of duty comes to my mind of this junta seizing power and their governance including a few blatant watchable cases.

Sorry that you not awake to see the point. Sometimes I wonder who is awake and who has slept through the last coup.

you can say the same about most countries politics, one they get voted in they are all the same, never listen to the electorate who voted them in (or not voted in, in certain countries, hint hint), look at the UK, for example, nearly 3 years of dithering about, and absolutely nothing achieved, MP,s with their own agenda,
Not sure most countries staged coups whenever their government under-achieved. Rather insane reason that you gave.

They have rigged the election to ensure a silent coup on March 24 and for next 20 years.

Who do you think runs the press here?
The media has no choice but to jockey for them and spread their lies and fluff.
Here are the reasons why the press are handcuffed to express freely

True but at least there are opposition parties in Parliament to expose any legit corruption and people can get to the street and protest. Ultimately, the people can use the ballot box to demonstrate their angst.

I don’t know but after 3 consecutive elections with his party winning all convincingly, even the unbelievers would start to question heaven. Don’t you?

Many of the yellows are in his administration. They have taken over.

What complete and utter crap.
Rangsit Uni has to be consistent with this crap since previous Nov poll that has Prayut as the most popular for PM trouncing all by a wide distance.

The election will be held under a junta government that retained special powers under Article 44 of the post-coup interim charter and is also guaranteed under the current Constitution. Hence, NCPO chief Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha is eligible to issue any order under this power, including nullifying or cancelling the election in the event of an unexpected incidence.
How will the election be free and fair when you have the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all free Thais. If that not enough, you have the army chief warning of imminent coup. Laws being fixed to favour the junta for years to come and crony agencies working on the behest of the junta to handicap political parties. Are these not reasons enough to denounce the junta but some here still try to spin indefensible excuses and bring in the tired regular used reason that political parties are also corrupt. Don’t we know that. The junta illegimate power and using their power to influence the election must be denounced by all but not some mindless junta fans.

France Airbus and national flag carrier Thai Airways International last June launched a joint venture for MRO facilities at U-tapao Airport, in a deal overseen in France by junta chief Prayut Chan-o-cha
Blatantly wrong for the military to be involved in business. The military own the land and they now managing the lease. Just why are military land use for generating money and not for military purposes. So many wrongs.

The 250 senators handpicked by the National Council for Peace and Order will join the 350 members of the House of Representatives to choose the next PM from lists submitted by parties that have won at least 5 per cent of the Lower House. The prospective premier needs at least 376 votes.
Error here on the 350 lower house elected members. Should be 500. Therefore the selection grade is at least 376 from a combined houses of 750.
4 hours ago, webfact said:An “outsider”, who is not on a party list, will be eligible to become the next PM if 376 votes can be garnered from both Houses.
Another dirty junta trick that will allow Prayut to be eligible if he failed in the party nomination selection. He gets a second chance as an "outsider".
Really a despicable and corrupt person not worthy of high office.

A caretaker NLA should not be passing law. But there again, the junta break the rule with the help of the junta’s Minister for Law that state that they are not caretaker status including the PM. Again shameless junta shenanigan.

1 hour ago, tlandtday said:I think this is a key election as the current party seems to be on a path to replicate the political big brother state we currently see in China.
Judging from crowd at the election rallies, the junta’s PPRP seem to attract very small crowd. Most polls except the pro junta NIda indicate PPRP at 7-9% party preference. If we extrapolate, that will translate to not more than 45 seats; way off the 125 seats needed to be decisive to get Prayut across the line with the 250 senate votes. Maybe that path seem ensure now unless they dig into their dirty bag of tricks and get the major parties dissolve before election. Let’s hope this will not happen and we can see the people”s mandate triumph over military authoritarianism.

If the military and Prayut say there is no coup all that is left to be determined is what day it will occur.
The next coup will not be the same as last 2 coups. With the key puppet masters fading and dying, the coup will be staged for different reasons and unlikely to be welcomed with roses and without incidents.

No said the Khon Kaen University survey. Low single digit behind PTP, FFP and TRC. Plenty is pretty rich and hyperbolical.

The crooked Thaksin bought a football team, then was forced to sell it as the English FA ruled him unfit to own a club and be a Chairman.
They must have loved him to bits too then!
He sold the club because he couldn’t bring in sufficient funds as his finance was seized by court. He still make 20 m pound selling the the sheik.

He may do what he do best to exercise his article 44 to ban the debate reasoning it will cause confusion to the general public.
