Deputy Prime Minister Prawit, who was in Lampang province, also thanked the ruling party’s campaign team and, in particular, Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prompao, for the poll victory.

 

Was he rewarded with any illegal substances ?

Snivellers!

Expect similar results all over Thailand....the PPRP have stitched up the electorate!

A sad result for politics.

Doesn't seem to have been exactly a "crowded field". Some significant parties, in fact whole swathes of electoral opinion, were not on the ballot. 

 

I wonder why that was?

Which is the way it's going to stay, years of tweaks, campaigns, promises the education system is keeping the masses exactly where the hierarchy want them to be.

in the dark.

They can make up whatever result they like.

 

I just pity the general population being caught up without any way out of it, unless they start rioting, which is not really part of the Thai culture.

Maybe the electorate failed to turn up in numbers as they knew what the amended result would be beforehand 

''The party’s chief strategist, General Prawit Wongsuwan'', can he spare the time, sleep is important at his age.

Now let's just hope that no free money was given in order to secure votes. But you would figure the winners son died and that the father is the more looked up to than the other candidate, but the sad narrative is the father jumped ship as probably had an offer he could not refuse. I don't hink his son would be so happy knowing his dad is on the black side now.

Judging by the size of the victory, plenty did turn up.

 

Any complaints by any other party? Nope. Just a few TVF know-it-alls. Don't worry, bars open soon and you can pontificate to the girlies again.
