Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha: Fighting to protect his legacy

Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, the prime minister and head of the ruling National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), has decided to stop being a “referee” to become a player himself. The former Army chief’s coup in 2014 ended widespread political violence, stemming from confrontation between the “red” and “multi-coloured” shirts. He was widely admired at that time, but four years have chipped away at much of the popularity, and his determination to stay on for another four years is putting more at stake.

 

Prayut is the sole prime ministerial candidate for the pro-junta Palang Pracharath Party, which aims to beat the former ruling Pheu Thai Party, whose elected coalition government was overthrown in the coup Prayut led.

 

He has attracted both supporters and detractors, thanks mainly to his characteristic uniqueness of military men, featuring nationalist attitudes, aggressive style of dealing with the media, and “decisiveness” that sometimes borders on imprudence.

He is a complete embarrassment to the country.    The only thing he managed to do is make the army look stupid and unite the reds and yellows to pursue true participatory government.  Once the army is out of the way, the courts then must have judges that are not proxies of the state.  That interpret the law without government corrosion.

There will be an election.  He won't win.  He'll use Article 44 to nullify the elections, claiming they were rigged, but offering no proof.  Then promise new elections..."someday".
