Opposition Pheu Thai party seeks Charter Court ruling on PM’s ministerial status

[webfact]

 

Thailand’s opposition Pheu Thai Party has challenged the ministerial legitimacy of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha over his announcement, in April 2019, extending the concession contract, for another 40 years, of the operator of the Green Line train service.

 

A petition, co-signed by 75 Pheu Thai MPs, was submitted to House Speaker Chuan Leekpai today, asking the Constitutional Court to rule on the extension of the concession contract by the prime minister, which they claim constitutes a violation of Sections 170 (5), 184 (2) and 186 of the Constitution.

He will not give up power.  If found to be in violation he will just reform his junta into its previous incarnation and renew his status as the coup master.

I'm sure he will have a suitable reason for doing so...
