Once a red-shirt leader dubbed “Isan Rambo”, Seksakol Atthawong has made yet another political pivot, leaving the ruling Palang Pracharath to join a new party aiming to secure Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s return to power after the next general election.

 

Currently a vice-minister to the Prime Minister’s Office, Seksakol disclosed on Monday (Jan 7) that his new party —Ruamthai Sarngchart — would support Gen Prayut in his bid for another term regardless of whether Palang Pracharath or another party nominates him as its PM candidate.

 

Seksakol said the party’s name, which means Uniting Thais to Build the Nation, was inspired by a phrase used often by Prayut.

No. No. No. Please give us someone who knows how to run a country not an Army. I’m sure it’s a pipe dream, but it would be nice to see someone looking out for all the people (including the foreigners), not just the elite Thai folks.

You know how that is......whichever way the political fashioned winds blow. 

If one hasn't noticed, these schemes have been extraordinarily popular of the last nine months or so. 

 

The facade of switching over, creating not so new political identities, swearing false loyalities, etc......
