Plang Pracharat to nominate Prayut as PM : source

By The Nation

 

 

Pro-junta Plang Pracharat Party will name Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha as its candidate for prime minister after the March general election, a party source said on Wednesday.

 

Industry Minister Uttama Savanayana and Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak would also be named in the list as his deputy and third in command, respectively. 

 

The Constitution requires parties to propose three candidates for the premiership. 

 

Prayut, who led the military coup to topple the elected government in May 2014, is always reluctant to make clear commitments about his political ambitions. 

 

The junta-sponsored charter gives two options to fill the top job in government: being proposed by a political party or by a two-thirds vote in the House of Representatives to install a non-elected figure.

Probably the world's worst kept secret of the last few months.

OK, guys. Now we know where he's hiding . . . get in there and blast seven shades of muck out of him. You've got just 2 months to complete this mission but, should you accept it, I will deny all knowledge. This post will self-destruct in thirty seconds.

Considering the election result is a foregone conclusion, perhaps "nominate" should be replaced with "name"

Yes, all Farangs should refuse to vote, that'll show em!

Good move on Plang Pracharat's part. Prayuth has already stacked the deck, and will continue to do so, creating a high likelihood he'll hold onto power. So positioning themselves at the trough makes sense for any aspiring low lifes.
