EC conditionally allows PM Prayut to campaign with candidates

 

 

The pro-junta Palang Pracharat party has received a boost after the Election Commission gave its approval for the Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to join party candidates on the hustings.

 

The ruling followed a question raised by party leader Mr. Uttama Savanayana asking if it is legally permissible for General Prayut, its prime ministerial candidate, to join party candidates in campaigning and addressing the crowds.

 

However, the EC warned that General Prayut must refrain from using his position as the Prime Minister and head of the National Council for Peace and Order in a way which will advantage or disadvantage candidates or parties.

If they allow this then they should cut his Friday afternoon mandated TV pep talks in interests of fairness. I'm pretty sure most would applaud that

If they cut it people would have to make their supper at a different time , very inconvenient.

No problem here....the EC can rest easy. When the election results are rigged there's no need to campaign.

Good that they'll be relying solely on Prayuth's record of non-performance, non-achievement, non-development and non-compos mentis-ness during the past 5 years of deterioration-ness. Let's just hope that they get him to do most of the talking . . . in words that make even less sense.

But for which Thai taxpayers pay for.

He may campaign, but may not debate.

Coddle the toddler some more.

[rkidlad]

Let him campaign. Be a reminder to voters who not to vote for. 

[boonrawdcnx]

So then disqualify him now and ban his party because he has been illegally campaigning since last year spending our tax money doing so!

If he talk like his dull monologue on Fri TV, let him campaign. May have to pay the audience to cheer and clap,
