webfact Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 EDITORIAL Somkid will be ready when called upon Spareparts are usually unseen, but if you happen to need them you are glad you have them. Somkid Jatusripitak is like that. News that he would be in the Palang Pracharat Party’s prime ministerial nomination list should not overexcite anyone. The deputy prime minister should be thought of like what he really is — something that can stay out of sight forever but can be so vitally important. A lot will depend on Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, or what happens to him. As of now, Somkid is a substitute, albeit a very good one. Analysts don’t see a great chance for Somkid, just like they don’t see how Chadchart Sittipunt can edge out Sudarat Keyuraphan to become the top prime ministerial candidate of the Pheu Thai camp. Both Somkid and Chadchart are similar in that they will not attract jeers from the public if they have to emerge into the limelight. The difference is that while Chadchart has blended in so well with Pheu Thai, creating a sense of great harmony among himself and top pro-Thaksin politicians, Somkid has remained very enigmatic, not least because he used to serve at the forefront of Thaksin cabinets.

HalfLight Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'll bet he will be, chomping at the bit. He's done alright for a quisling... All that rehearsing brown-nosing appears to have worked. For the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
