How long will Chaturon last on center stage?

In politics, there are names that carry with them “good images”. In the end, something is often found lacking and the “good images” can only go so far, and then they are eventually edged out by “lesser” figures.

Chaturon Chaisaeng, now with the Thai Raksa Chat Party, is one of them.

His “friendly departure” from the Pheu Thai Party to its perceived associate,Thai Raksa Chat, has all but sealed his perhaps long-overdue fate as an official prime ministerial candidate. He will chair Thai Raksa Chat’s election strategy committee, being in the same position as Sudarat Keyuraphan in Pheu Thai.
