webfact Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Fifth cabinet member to resign from Thai PM Prayuth's government - party spokeswoman FILE PHOTO: FILE PHOTO: Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha speaks to media members at the Government House in Bangkok, Thailand June 6, 2019. REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha/File Photo BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's Minister to the Prime Minister's Office Tewan Liptapanlop will resign on Monday, his party spokeswoman told Reuters, and would be the fifth member of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha's cabinet to quit in less than five days. Chart Pattana Party spokeswoman Yaowapa Boorapolchai told Reuters the party leadership had decided Tewan would leave his cabinet post to pave the way for a cabinet reshuffle. Chart Pattana is among the 20 coalition partner of the government led by Prayuth and it holds only one cabinet position. Tewan's resignation would follow that of Finance Minister Uttama Savanayana, Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak and two other ministers, who quit Prayuth's cabinet on Thursday.

Popular Post Susco Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 No rats leaving. All those parties were given a free cabinet seat, just to make sure prayuth had a majority, and now are of no use anymore and are made an offer they can't refuse to resign 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phetchy Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 I only hope that the growing protests do not end in tragedy. How many times have we seen "unrest" escalate to all-out bloody confrontation? If the PM is backed into a corner, I fear that rather than throw in the towel (therefore losing face), he will do whatever it takes to stay in charge. Maybe a military coup? Oh, forgot, tried that a few times before! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Let's hope that with this person resigning the protesters can bolster more strength from it to topple the regime and kick them to the backseat of only having power to play army. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Nothing new here ... haven't even heard of the guy. Khun Prayut Chan O Cha recently announced a reshuffle of his cabinet so I can't see why you are all surprised at this. Thailand will continue to move forward with Khun Prayut in control thankfully. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonclark Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Nothing major here. Just coalition politics. Every political mouth must be give time at the trough if the PM wishes them to be malleable MPs and vote his way so he can extend his time in power. I am sure everyone has received substantial compensation for their duty to country while in the PMs cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
